Genesis 19:20–24 · Berean Standard Bible

20 Look, there is a town nearby where I can flee, and it is a small place. Please let me flee there—is it not a small place? Then my life will be saved.”

21 “Very well,” he answered, “I will grant this request as well, and will not demolish the town you indicate.

22 Hurry! Run there quickly, for I cannot do anything until you reach it.” That is why the town was called Zoar.

23 And by the time the sun had risen over the land, Lot had reached Zoar.

24 Then the LORD rained down sulfur and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens.
