Gen 19:19 [Samaritan Pentateuch]

הנה נא מצא עבדך חן בעיניך ותגדל חסדך אשר עשית עמדי להחיות את נפשי ואנכי לא אוכל להמלט ההרה פן תדבקני הרעה ומתי

Gen 19:19 [Masoretic Text]

הִנֵּה־֠נָא מָצָ֨א עַבְדְּךָ֣ חֵן֮ בְּעֵינֶיךָ֒ וַתַּגְדֵּ֣ל חַסְדְּךָ֗ אֲשֶׁ֤ר עָשִׂ֨יתָ֙ עִמָּדִ֔י לְהַחֲיֹ֖ות אֶת־נַפְשִׁ֑י וְאָנֹכִ֗י לֹ֤א אוּכַל֙ לְהִמָּלֵ֣ט הָהָ֔רָה פֶּן־תִּדְבָּקַ֥נִי הָרָעָ֖ה וָמַֽתִּי׃

Behold now, your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have magnified your kindness, which you have done for me in saving my life. But I cannot escape to the mountain, lest the disaster overtake me, and I die.
