"Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God.
"For we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before the face of the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it."
And they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally."
And he said to him, "See, I have favored you concerning this thing also, in that I will not overthrow this city for which you have spoken.

"See now, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one; please let me escape there (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live."
