19.24 Igitur Dominus pluit super Sodomam, etc. GREG. Sulphur, fetor carnis, ignis, ardor carnalis desiderii; cum Dominus carnis scelera punire decrevisset, qualitate ultionis innotuit macula criminis. Sulphur enim fetet, ignis ardet; qui ergo ad perversa desideria carnis fetore arserant, jure sulphure et igne perierunt, ut ex justa pœna discerent quod injusto desiderio fecissent. STRAB. Notandum quia primos peccatores aqua diluvii exterminavit, qui similiter offenderant Deum concupiscentia carnis. Sodomitæ vero graviori supplicio, ignis scilicet et sulphuris diluvio, perierunt. Licet enim illi mensuram excederent, quasi naturaliter peccabant; isti vero contra naturam: ideo gravissimi supplicii exemplo damnati sunt.

BRN And the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.
BrLXX Καὶ Κύριος ἔβρεξεν ἐπὶ Σόδομα καὶ Γόμοῤῥα θεῖον καὶ πῦρ παρὰ Κυρίου ἐξ οὐρανοῦ.
(Kai Kurios ebrexen epi Sodoma kai Gomoῤɽa theion kai pur para Kuriou ex ouranou. )
19:1-38 The Canaanites were an evil, corrupting people. God judged their morally bankrupt civilization and warned others against becoming like them. It was difficult to get Lot and his family out of Sodom; it was more difficult to get Sodom out of Lot and his family. This chapter helped later Israelites to understand the moral and spiritual threat of the peoples living in and around the Promised Land, such as the Canaanites and Lot’s descendants, the Moabites and the Ammonites (see Num 22–25; Deut 23:3-6; Josh 24:9; Judg 10:7-9; 11:4-5; 1 Sam 10:27; 1 Kgs 11:1-3; 2 Kgs 24:2).
וַֽיהוָ֗ה הִמְטִ֧יר עַל סְדֹ֛ם וְעַל עֲמֹרָ֖ה גָּפְרִ֣ית וָאֵ֑שׁ
and,LORD he/it_had_caused_rain on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Şədom and,on ˊₐmorāh brimstone and,fire
The word brimstone refers to sulfur, which is a type of rock that is highly flammable. When it burns, it produces smoke, intense heat, and a bad smell like rotten eggs. Alternate translation: “Then Yahweh poured down burning sulfur and fire on the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah” or “Then Yahweh caused fire and burning sulfur to pour down on the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah”

מֵאֵ֥ת יְהוָ֖ה מִן הַשָּׁמָֽיִם
from, YHWH from/more_than the=heavens
Some translations omit the phrase from Yahweh since Yahweh is already mentioned earlier as the one doing this. Also, for some languages it may be better to change the order of phrases in this verse and say, “Then Yahweh caused fire and burning sulfur/rocks to fall/pour like heavy rain from the heavens/sky on the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “from himself in heaven,” or “from out of the sky,”
