“ When he kept lingering, ” says the Bible, “then in the compassion of Jehovah upon him, the [angels] seized hold of his hand and of the hand of his wife and of the hands of his two daughters and they proceeded to bring him out and to station him outside the city. ”
در کتاب مقدّس آمده است :‏ « چون تأخیر می‌نمود ،‏ آن [فرشتگان] ،‏ دست او و دست زنش و دست هر دو دخترش را گرفتند ،‏ چونکه خداوند بر وی شفقّت نمود و او را بیرون آورده ،‏ در خارج شهر گذاشتند .‏ »
