12And the two men asked Lot, “Do you have here anyone besides – sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whoever you have in the city? Bring them out of this place: 13For we will destroy this place, because the outcry against those of this place has reached the LORD; and the LORD has sent us to destroy it.” 14And Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, “Up, get yourselves out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city”. But he seemed to his sons-in-law like someone who was kidding. 15And with the coming of dawn, the angels hurried Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife, and your two daughters who are here; before you are caught in the destruction of the city because of its wicked ways”. 16And when he lingered, the men grabbed hands of Lot, his wife, and his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they quicky ushered them outside of the city. 17And when they had brought them out, he said, “Run for your life; do not look back! And do not stay in any part of the plain. Escape to the mountain, so you are not consumed.” 18And Lot said to them, “Oh, not so, my lord! 19Since I have found grace with you, and you have extended to me your mercy, that you have shown me by saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, and this disaster will overtake me, and I will die: 20Look, this town is nearby to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh, let me escape there, (is it not a little one?) and I shall live.” 21And he said to him, “Very well, I have granted this request, also, that I will not overthrow this town, for which you have spoken. 22Hurry, get there quickly; for I cannot do anything till you have reached there”. That is why that town as called Zoar (meaning “small”).

23The sun had well risen when Lot entered Zoar. 24Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone (burning sulfur) and fire from out of heaven; 25And He completely destroyed those cities, and the entire plain, killing all the inhabitants of those cities, and everything that grew upon the ground. 26But Lot’s wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. 27And Abraham got up early in the morning and returned to the place where he stood before the LORD: 28And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and all the surrounding land of the plain, and the smoke of the country rose like the smoke from a furnace. 29And when God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the destruction, when He destroyed the cities in which Lot dwelt.

30And Lot and his two daughters went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain; for he was afraid to stay in Zoar: and he and his two daughters lived in a cave. 31And the elder of his two daughters said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man around here to give us children: 32Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will sleep with him, that we may preserve the family line of our father.” 33And so they made their father drink wine that night: and the older one went in, and lay with her father; and he did not perceive when she lay down, nor when she arose. 34And the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, “Look, I slept last night with my father: let us make him drink wine again tonight also; and you go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve the family line of our father”. 35And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger lay with him; and he again did not perceive when she lay down, nor when she arose. 36Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. 37And the firstborn bore a son, and called named him Moab: who became the father of the Moabites until this day. 38And the younger bore a son, and named him Ben-ammi: became the father of the children of Ammon until this day.
