Genesis 19:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast showed unto me in saving my life: and I cannot escape in the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die.
20 See now this city hereby to flee unto, which is a little one: Oh let me escape thither: is it not a [a]little one, and my soul shall live?
21 Then he said unto him, Behold, I have received [b]thy request also concerning this thing, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
