Genesis 19:22-30 ▼

22 Hurry, escape there, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there.” Upon thus the name of the city was called Zoar.

23 When the sun had risen upon the earth and Lot had entered Zoar,

24 then YHWH rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from YHWH out of the heavens.

25 And He overthrew these cities, and all the plain, and all those dwelling in the cities, and what grew on the ground.

26 And his wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

27 And Abraham rose early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood there before the face of YHWH.

28 And he looked toward the face of Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the plain, and he saw, and behold, smoke from the land went up like the smoke of the furnace.

29 And it came to pass when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow when He overthrew the cities in which Lot had dwelt.

30 And Lot went up out of Zoar and dwelt in the mountains, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to dwell in Zoar. And he dwelt in the cave—he and his two daughters.
