In context

18But Lot replied, “No, my lords, please!

19Your servant has indeed found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness by sparing my life. But I cannot run to the mountains; the disaster will overtake me, and I will die.

20Look, there is a town nearby where I can flee, and it is a small place. Please let me flee there—is it not a small place? Then my life will be saved.”

21“Very well,” he answered, “I will grant this request as well, and will not demolish the town you indicate.

22Hurry! Run there quickly, for I cannot do anything until you reach it.” That is why the town was called Zoar.
