Genesis 19:19-23

Now behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your compassion, which you have shown me by saving my life; but I cannot escape to the mountains, for the disaster will overtake me and I will die;

now behold, this town is near enough to flee to, and it is small. Please, let me escape there (is it not small?) so that my life may be saved.”

And he said to him, “Behold, I grant you this request also, not to overthrow the town of which you have spoken.

Hurry, escape there, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there.” Therefore the town was named Zoar.

The sun had risen over the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
