- Zoar:
- "[That these] madeª° warª withª Beraª kingª of Sodom,ª and with¹ Birshaª kingª of Gomorrah,ª Shinabª kingª of Admah,ª and Shemeberª kingª of Zeboiim,ª and the kingª of Bela,ª which¹ is² Zoar.ª" {Gen 14:2} + "And there went outª° the kingª of Sodom,ª and the kingª of Gomorrah,ª and the kingª of Admah,ª and the kingª of Zeboiim,ª and the kingª of Belaª (the sameª [is] Zoar;)ª and they joinedª° battleª with¹ them in the valeª of Siddim;ª" {Gen 14:8} + "Behold¹ now,¹ this¹ cityª [is] nearª to fleeª° unto,¹ and itª [is] a little one:ª Oh,¹ let me escapeª° thither,¹ ([is] it¹ not¹ a little one?)ª and my soulª shall live.ª°" {Gen 19:20} + "Hasteª° thee, escapeª° thither;¹ for¹ I cannotª°¹ doª° any thingª till¹ thou be comeª° thither.¹ Therefore¹¹ the nameª of the cityª was calledª° Zoar.ª ... And Lotª went upª° out of Zoar,ª¹ and dweltª° in the mountain,ª and his twoª daughtersª with¹ him; for¹ he fearedª° to dwellª° in Zoar:ª and he dweltª° in a cave,ª he¹ and his twoª daughters.ª" {Gen 19:22-30} + "And the south,ª and the plainª of the valleyª of Jericho,ª the cityª of palm trees,ª°² unto¹ Zoar.ª" {Deu 34:3} + "My heartª shall cry¹ out²° for Moab;ª his fugitivesª [shall flee] unto¹ Zoar,ª an heiferª of three years old:ª for¹ by the mounting upª of Luhithª with weepingª shall they go it up;ª° for¹ in the wayª of Horonaimª they shall raise upª° a cryª of destruction.ª" {Isa 15:5} + "From the cryª¹ of Heshbonª [even] unto¹ Elealeh,ª [and even] unto¹ Jahaz,ª have they utteredª° their voice,ª from Zoarª¹ [even] unto¹ Horonaim,ª [as] an heiferª of three years old:ª for¹ the watersª also¹ of Nimrimª shall be¹ desolate.ª" {Jer 48:34}; Instead of "Zoar," which was situated at the extremity of the plain of Jordan, the Syriac reads "Zoan," which was situated in the south of Egypt, and in a well-watered country.
