and they took him out, and set him outside of the city.
019:017 It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said,
"Escape for your life! Don't look behind you, and don't
stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains,
lest you be consumed!"
019:018 Lot said to them, "Oh, not so, my lord.
019:019 See now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you
have magnified your loving kindness, which you have shown
to me in saving my life. I can't escape to the mountain,
lest evil overtake me, and I die.
019:020 See 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."
019:021 He said to him, "Behold, I have granted your request concerning
this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which
you have spoken.
019:022 Hurry, escape there, for I can't do anything until you get there."
Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.{Zoar means "little."}
019:023 The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
019:024 Then Yahweh rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire
from Yahweh out of the sky.
019:025 He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants
of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.
019:026 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became
a pillar of salt.
019:027 Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had
stood before Yahweh.
019:028 He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land
of the plain, and looked, and saw that the smoke of the land
went up as the smoke of a furnace.
019:029 It happened, when God destroyed the cities of the plain,
that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle
of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.
019:030 Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountain, and his
two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar.
He lived in a cave with his two daughters.
019:031 The firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old,
and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us after
the manner of all the earth.
019:032 Come, let's make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him,
that we may preserve our father's seed."
019:033 They made their father drink wine that night:
and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father.
He didn't know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
019:034 It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said
to the younger, "Behold, I lay last night with my father.
Let us make him drink wine again, tonight. You go in,
and lie with him, that we may preserve our father's seed."
019:035 They made their father drink wine that night also.
The younger went and lay with him. He didn't know when she
