the last days of sodom and gomorrah 1962 transcript

Additionally, the sins which triggered the destruction are reminiscent of the Book of Judges' account of the Levite's concubine. Later deuterocanonical texts attempt to glean additional insights about these cities of the Jordan Plain and their residents. The New Testament also contains passages of parallels to the destruction and surrounding events that pertained to these cities and those who were involved. The Hebrew Bible contains several other references to Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot and his two daughters are saved, but his wife disregards the angels' warning, looks back, and is turned into a pillar of salt. Then God rains sulfur and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah and all the Plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground ( Genesis 19:24-25).

Lot says that the hills are too far away and asks to go to Zoar instead. The next morning, because Lot had lingered, the angels take Lot, Lot's wife, and his two daughters by the hand and out of the city, and tell him to flee to the hills. The angels tell Lot '.the outcry against its people has become great before the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it' ( Genesis 19:13). Lot offers the mob his virgin daughters to 'do to them as you please', but they refuse and threaten to do worse to Lot. Lot welcomes them into his home, but all the men of the town surround the house and demand that he surrender the visitors that they may ' know' them. Abraham gathers his men, rescues Lot, and frees the cities. At the Battle of Siddim, Chedorlaomer defeats them and takes many captives, including Lot, the nephew of the Hebrew patriarch Abraham. Sodom and Gomorrah are two of the five 'cities of the plain' referred in Genesis 13:12 and 19:29 subject to Chedorlaomer of Elam, which rebel against him.
