Genesis 19:19-21

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁹ I am your humble servant and you have been very kind to me. You have saved my life. But I cannot run away into the mountains. If I try to do that, this punishment will catch me before I reach there. Then I will surely die. ²⁰ Look! See that town over there. It is near and I can run to it safely. And it is a small town. So please let me run there. You can see that it is only a small place. If I go there, I will stay alive.’

²¹ The angel said to Lot, ‘OK, I will let you do what you have asked. I will not destroy that town.
