Genesis:19:17-22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it came to pass ,
when they had brought them forth abroad ,
that he said ,
Escape for thy life ;
look not behind thee ,
neither stay thou in all the plain ;
escape to the mountain ,
lest thou be consumed .
*
And Lot said unto them ,
Oh ,
not so ,
my Lord :
*
Behold now ,
thy servant hath found grace in thy sight ,
and thou hast magnified thy mercy ,
which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life ;
and I cannot escape to the mountain ,
lest some evil take me ,
and I die :
*
Behold now ,
this city is near to flee unto ,
and it is a little one :
Oh ,
let me escape thither , (
is it not a little one ?)
and my soul shall live .
*
And he said unto him ,
See ,
I have accepted thee concerning this thing also ,
that I will not overthrow this city ,
for the which thou hast spoken .
*
Haste thee ,
escape thither ;
for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither .
Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar .
