【释义】：

罗得逃往琐珥；(喻)死里逃生；幸存的小城．

And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the Lord being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.

And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

And Lot said unto them,Oh, not so, my Lord:

Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:

Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?)and my soul shall live.

And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.

Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither.Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

Gen. 19:16-22

但罗得迟延不走。

两人因为耶和华怜恤罗得，就拉着他的手和他妻子的手，并他两个女儿的手，把他们领出来，安置在城外。

领他们出来以后，就说：“逃命吧!不可回头看，也不可在平原站住，要往山上逃跑，免得你被剿灭。”

罗得对他们说：“我主啊，不要如此。

你仆人已经在你眼前蒙恩，你又向我显出莫大的慈爱，救我的性命，我不能逃到山上去，恐怕这灾祸临到我，我便死了。

看哪，这座城又小又近，容易逃到，这不是一个小的吗?求你容我逃到那里，我的性命就得存活。”

天使对他说：“这事我也应允你，我不倾复你所说的这城。

你要速速地逃到那城，因为你还没有到那里，我不能作什么。”因此那城名叫琐珥。
