Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to scorch or burn.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G4670: Σόδομα (Sodoma) • This Greek term is used in the New Testament to refer to the city of Sodom, maintaining the same connotations of sin and divine judgment as found in the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: Sodom is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to one of the ancient cities located in the plain of Jordan, which was destroyed by divine judgment due to its inhabitants' wickedness. Context: Sodom is one of the most infamous cities mentioned in the Bible, known for its destruction due to the grievous sins of its people. It is frequently mentioned alongside Gomorrah, another city that faced a similar fate. The narrative of Sodom is primarily found in the Book of Genesis, where it is described as a city of great wickedness. The most notable account is in Genesis 19, where God decides to destroy Sodom due to its pervasive immorality. However, Abraham intercedes on behalf of the city, and God agrees to spare it if ten righteous people can be found within it. Ultimately, only Lot and his family are saved, and the city is destroyed by "sulfur and fire" from the Lord.
