'Town' in the Bible

and said, "Look, my lords! Please come inside your servant's house, wash your feet, and spend the night. Then you can get up early and be on your way." But they responded, "No, we would rather spend the night in the town square."

Look, there is a town nearby where I can flee, and it's a small one. Let me escape there! It's a small one, isn't it? That way I'll stay alive!"

"All right," the angel replied to Lot, "I'll agree with your request! I won't overthrow the town that you mentioned.

Hurry up and flee there, because I cannot do anything until you get to that town." Therefore the name of the town was called Zoar.

Then Abraham's servant took ten camels from his master's herd of camels and left on his journey with all kinds of gifts from his master's inventory. Eventually, he traveled as far as Aram-naharaim, Nahor's home town.

As evening approached, he had the camels kneel outside the town at the water well, right about the time when women customarily went out to draw water.

I've stationed myself here by the spring as the women of the town come to draw water.
