Word Origin: Of uncertain derivation, possibly from Hebrew origin.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H5467 סְדֹם (Sedom): The Hebrew name for Sodom, used in the Old Testament to refer to the same city and its narrative of destruction.

Usage: The term "Sodom" is used in the New Testament to refer to the city itself, its destruction, and metaphorically to describe extreme wickedness or divine judgment. It appears in various contexts, often as a warning or comparison to illustrate moral corruption and the consequences of sin.

Context: Sodom is one of the most infamous cities mentioned in the Bible, known for its destruction by fire and brimstone as a result of its inhabitants' egregious sins. The city is first mentioned in Genesis, where it is described as part of the fertile plain of Jordan, alongside Gomorrah and other cities. The narrative of Sodom's destruction is a pivotal event in the Old Testament, serving as a stark warning against immorality and disobedience to God.

In the New Testament, Sodom is frequently referenced as a symbol of divine judgment. Jesus Himself uses Sodom as a point of comparison when warning cities that rejected His message, stating that it would be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for those cities (Matthew 10:15, BSB). The apostle Peter and Jude also refer to Sodom to illustrate the certainty of God's judgment against ungodliness (2 Peter 2:6, Jude 1:7, BSB).

The story of Sodom has had a lasting impact on Judeo-Christian thought, often serving as a moral lesson on the consequences of sin and the importance of righteousness. The term "Sodom" has transcended its historical context to become a byword for vice and divine retribution.
