The destruction of Sedom and Amorah (Gomorrah)

19:23 The destruction of Sedom and Amorah (Gomorrah)

23 The sun had already risen by the time Lot and family reached Tsoar. 24 Then Yahweh rained burning sulfur down onto Sedom and Amorah (Gomorrah),[ref] 25 and he destroyed those cities and all their inhabitants as well, as all of the plain including all the vegetation. 26 But Lot’s wife who was following him looked back and she turned into a pillar of salt.[ref]

27 Meanwhile, Avraham got up early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before Yahweh, 28 and he looked down towards Sedom and Amorah and the land of the plain. From there he saw, wow, that smoke was rising from the land like a furnace chimney. 29 So it was that when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Avraham and had Lot removed out of the middle of the destruction when he destroyed the cities that Lot had been living in.
