Genesis 19:20-22 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

20. "Look, here's a town near enough to run to. It's small. Let me run to it. It's very small, isn't it? Then my life will be spared."

21. The Lord said to Lot, "All right. I will also give you what you are asking for. I will not destroy the town you are talking about.

22. But run there quickly. I can't do anything until you reach it." The town was named Zoar. Zoar means "small."
