22 Hurry! Flee to safety there, because I cannot do anything until you arrive there.” (This is why the town is named Zoar.)
23 The moment the sun rose upon the land, Lot entered Zoar,
24 and Adonai rained sulfur and fire upon Sodom and Gomorrah from Adonai out of the sky.
25 So He demolished these cities and the whole surrounding area, all the inhabitants of the cities and the vegetation of the ground.
26 But his wife looked behind him and she turned into a pillar of salt.
27 Now Abraham rose early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Adonai,
28 and he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward the entire land of the surrounding area, and saw, behold, the smoke of the land ascended like smoke from a furnace.
