NASB
"now behold, this town is near enough to flee to, and it is small. Please, let me escape there (is it not small?) that my life may be saved.""
— Genesis 19:20, NASB
“Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.”
“behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape thither (is it not a little one?), and my soul shall live. ”
“See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (isn't it a little one?), and my soul will live."”
“Look, this town over here is close enough to escape to, and it’s just a little one. Let me go there. It’s just a little place, isn’t it? Then I’ll survive.””
“There is this city here at hand, to which I may flee, it is a little one, and I shall be saved in it: is it not a little one, and my soul shall live?”
“This town, now, is near, and it is a little one: O, let me go there (is it not a little one?) so that my life may be safe.”
“Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.”
When they had brought them outside, one said, "Escape for your life! Do not look behind you, and do not stay anywhere in the valley; escape to the mountains, or you will be swept away."
But Lot said to them, "Oh no, my lords!
"Now behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your lovingkindness, 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?) that my life may be saved."
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 name of the town was called Zoar.
The sun had risen over the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
