OET (OET-LV) And_LORD he_caused_to_rain on Şədom and_on ˊAmorāh sulfur and_fire from YHWH from the_heavens.
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”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
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,”
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).
