In context
19Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life. But I cannot flee to the mountains — the disaster will overtake me first, and I will die. 20Look, that town right there is near enough to flee to, and it is small. Please let me escape there — is it not small? — and my life will be saved.” 21He said to him, “Very well, I grant you this too — I will not overthrow the town you speak of. 22Hurry, flee there, for I can do nothing until you arrive.” That is why the town is called Zoar. 23The sun had risen over the earth when Lot entered Zoar.
