Genesis 19:20-22

New Century Version

²⁰ Look, that little town over there is not too far away. Let me run there. It’s really just a little town, and I’ll be safe there.”

²¹ The angel said to Lot, “Very well, I will allow you to do this also. I will not destroy that town. ²² But run there fast, because I cannot destroy Sodom until you are safely in that town.” (That town is named Zoar,^[a] because it is little.)
