"After four generations your descendants will return here to this land, for the sins of the Amorites do not yet warrant their destruction."
-- Genesis 15:16
Meanwhile, the angels questioned Lot. "Do you have any other relatives here in the city?" they asked. "Get them out of this place—your sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or anyone else. For we are about to destroy this city completely. The outcry against this place is so great it has reached the LORD, and he has sent us to destroy it."
-- Genesis 19:12f.
