Zoara
Zoara, the biblical Zoar, previously called Bela (), was one of five cities of the plain of Jordan〔Genesis 14:2-8〕 in the Genesis which made up the Pentapolis. It was spared the "brimstone and fire" which destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah in order to provide a refuge for Lot and his daughters.〔Genesis 19:22-30〕 It is mentioned by Josephus;〔''Ant. Jud.'', XIII, xv, 4; ''Bell. Jud.'', IV, viii, 4〕 Ptolemy (V, xvi, 4); and by Eusebius and Saint Jerome in the ''Onomasticon''.
Owing to its tropical climate and to the waters coming down from the mountains of Moab, Zoara is a flourishing oasis where the balsam, indigo, and date trees bloom luxuriantly.〔
== In the Bible ==
Zoara-, meaning "small" or "insignificance" in Hebrew (a "little one" as Lot called it), was a city east of Jordan in the vale of Siddim, which later became the Dead Sea. Along with Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, Zoar was one of the 5 cities slated for destruction by God; but Zoar was spared at Lot's plea as his place of refuge. () Segor is the Septuagint form of "Zoar".
