Read in context

Genesis 19:22–26 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

25 Thus He destroyed these cities and the entire plain, including all the inhabitants of the cities and everything that grew on the ground.

26 But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
