Genesis 19:19-21

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁹ See now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great mercy by saving my life. I cannot flee to the mountains, or this disaster will stick with me, and I will die. ²⁰ Look, this city is close enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Please let me flee there—isn’t it just a little one?—so that my life will be saved.”

²¹ The man said to him, “Very well, I have granted your request concerning this thing, so I will not overthrow the city that you have spoken about.
