Genesis 19:22-30 ▼

22 hurry, escape there, for I am not able to do anything until your entering there”; therefore he calls the name of the city Zoar.

23 The sun has gone out on the earth, and Lot has entered into Zoar,

24 and YHWH has rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah brimstone and fire from YHWH, from the heavens;

25 and He overthrows these cities, and all the circuit, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which is shooting up from the ground.

26 And his wife looks from behind him, and she becomes a pillar of salt!

27 And Abraham rises early in the morning to the place where he has stood [before] the face of YHWH;

28 and he looks on the face of Sodom and Gomorrah, and on all the face of the land of the circuit, and sees, and behold, the smoke of the land went up as smoke of the furnace.

29 And it comes to pass, in God’s destroying the cities of the circuit, that God remembers Abraham, and sends Lot out of the midst of the overthrow in the overthrowing of the cities in which Lot dwelt.

30 And Lot goes up out of Zoar, and dwells in the mountain, and his two daughters with him, for he has been afraid of dwelling in Zoar, and he dwells in a cave, he and his two daughters.
