17It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, "Escape for your life! Don`t look behind you, neither stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed!"
19See now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your lovingkindness, which you have showed to me in saving my life. I can`t escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die.
20See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (isn`t it a little one?), and my soul will live."
21He said to him, "Behold, I have accepted you concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.
22Hurry, escape there, for I can`t do anything until you get there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
23The sun was risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
