Haste {H4116} thee, escape {H4422} thither; for I cannot {H3201} do {H6213} any thing {H1697} till thou be come {H935} thither. Therefore the name {H8034} of the city {H5892} was called {H7121} Zoar {H6820}.

Hurry, and escape to that place, because I can't do anything until you arrive there." For this reason the city was named Tzo'ar [small].
