Sodom

The border of the Kena‘ani was from Tzidon, as you go toward G’rar, to ‘Azah; as you go toward S’dom, ‘Amora, Admah and Tzvoyim, to Lesha.

Lot looked up and saw that the whole plain of the Yarden was well watered everywhere, before ADONAI destroyed S'dom and 'Amora, like the garden of ADONAI, like the land of Egypt in the direction of Tzo'ar.

Avram lived in the land of Kena'an; and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, setting up his tent near S'dom.

Now the men of S'dom were evil, committing great sins against ADONAI.

they made war together against Bera king of S'dom and against Birsha king of 'Amora, Shin'av king of Admah, Shem'ever king of Tzvoyim, and the king of Bela (which is the same as Tzo'ar).

Then the kings of S'dom, 'Amora, Admah, Tzvoyim and Bela (that is, Tzo'ar) came out and arrayed themselves for battle in the Siddim Valley

Now the Siddim Valley was full of clay pits; and when the kings of S'dom and 'Amora fled, some fell into them; while the rest fled to the hills.

The victors took all the possessions of S'dom and 'Amora and all their food supply; then they left.

But as they left, they took Lot, Avram's brother's son, and his possessions; since he was living in S'dom.

After his return from slaughtering K'dorla'omer and the kings with him, the king of S'dom went out to meet him in the Shaveh Valley, also known as the King's Valley.

The king of S'dom said to Avram, "Give me the people, and keep the goods for yourself."

But Avram answered the king of S'dom, "I have raised my hand in an oath to ADONAI, El 'Elyon, maker of heaven and earth,

The men set out from there and looked over toward S'dom, and Avraham went with them to see them on their way.

ADONAI said, "The outcry against S'dom and 'Amora is so great and their sin so serious

The men turned away from there and went toward S'dom, but Avraham remained standing before ADONAI.

ADONAI said, "If I find in S'dom fifty who are righteous, then I will forgive the whole place for their sake."

The two angels came to S'dom that evening, when Lot was sitting at the gate of S'dom. Lot saw them, got up to greet them and prostrated himself on the ground.

But before they could go to bed, the men of the city surrounded the house -young and old, everyone from every neighborhood of S'dom.

Then ADONAI caused sulfur and fire to rain down upon S'dom and 'Amora from ADONAI out of the sky.

and looked out toward S'dom and 'Amora, scanning the entire plain. There before him the smoke was rising from the land like smoke from a furnace!

and that the whole land has become burning sulfur and salt, that it isn't being sown or bearing crops or even producing grass - like the overthrow of S'dom, 'Amora, Admah and Tzvoyim, which ADONAI overthrew in his furious anger -

"'Rather, their vine is from the vine of S'dom, from the fields of 'Amora -their grapes are poisonous, their clusters are bitter;

If ADONAI-Tzva'ot had not left us a tiny, tiny remnant, we would have become like S'dom, we would have resembled 'Amora.

Hear what ADONAI says, you rulers of S'dom! Listen to God's Torah, you people of 'Amora!

Their very look witnesses against them! They parade their sin, like S'dom; they don't even try to hide it - all the worse for them! - they bring evil on themselves.
