Genesis 19:22 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 19:22

20 See now, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one; please let me escape there (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.”

21 And he said to him, “See, ^aI have favored you concerning this thing also, in that I will not overthrow this city for which you have spoken.

22 Hurry, escape there. For ^aI cannot do anything until you arrive there.” Therefore ^bthe name of the city was called¹ Zoar.

23 The sun had risen upon the earth when Lot entered Zoar.

24 Then the Lord rained ^abrimstone and ^bfire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens.

25 So He¹ overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and ^awhat grew on the ground.
