Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Genesis 19
²¹ He said to him, "Behold, I grant you this request also, not to overthrow the town of which you have spoken.
²² Hurry, escape there, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there." Therefore the name of the town was called Zoar.
²³ The sun had risen over the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
²⁴ Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven,
²⁵ and He overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.
²⁶ But his wife, from behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
²⁷ Now Abraham arose early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before the Lord;
²⁸ and he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the valley, and he saw, and behold, the smoke of the land ascended like the smoke of a furnace.
²⁹ Thus it came about, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.
³⁰ Lot went up from Zoar, and stayed in the mountains, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to stay in Zoar; and he stayed in a cave, he and his two daughters.
³¹ Then the firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of the earth.
