20. “Look, please, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is small. Please let me escape there – is it not a small matter – and let my life be saved?”
21. And He said to him, “Look, I have favoured you concerning this matter also, without overthrowing this city for which you have spoken.
22. “Hurry, escape there. For I am not able to do any deed until you arrive there.” So the name of the city was called Tso‛ar.
23. The sun had risen upon the earth when Lot entered Tso‛ar.
24. And יהוה rained sulphur and fire on Seḏom and Amorah, from יהוה out of the heavens.
25. So He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.
26. But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a post of salt.
27. And Aḇraham arose early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before יהוה,
28. and he looked toward Seḏom and Amorah, and toward all the land of the plain. And he looked and saw the smoke of the land which went up like the smoke of a furnace.
29. Thus it came to be, when Elohim destroyed the cities of the plain, that Elohim remembered Aḇraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot had dwelt.
30. And Lot went up out of Tso‛ar and dwelt in the mountains, and his two daughters were with him, for he was afraid to dwell in Tso‛ar. And he and his two daughters dwelt in a cave.
31. And the first-born said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man on the earth to come in to us, as is the way of all the earth.
32. “Come, let us make our father drink wine and lie with him, so that we preserve the seed of our father.”
33. So they made their father drink wine that night. And the first-born went in and lay with her father, and he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she arose.
