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

26 But his wife looked back behind him, and she became ^aa pillar of salt.

27 And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where ^ahe had stood before the Lord.

28 Then he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain; and he saw, and behold, ^athe smoke of the land which went up like the smoke of a furnace.

29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God ^aremembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot had dwelt.
