Lot was a foreigner to the realm of Sodom and not succumbed to the lustful, degenerate sins rampant in the city.Īfter Lot is unable to convince his sons-in-law to leave the city, he fled Sodom with his wife and two daughters encouraged by the two angels that the Lord will look after them. The angels agreed and went to the house of Lot.
He pleaded with the angels to join him in his house so he could wash their feet and serve them a meal. Sodom was evidently the chief town in the settlement.Īfter leaving Abraham, God’s angels arrived at the gates of Sodom and Gomorrah where they were greeted by the gatekeeper Lot. It is commonly mentioned in connection with Gomorrah, but also with Admah and Zeboim, and on one occasion - ( Genesis 14:1). God’s Angels Arrive in Sodom and GomorrahĪccording to Smith’s Bible Dictionary, Sodom was one of the most ancient cities of Syria. Abraham then asks about a lesser and lesser number until down to ten people as God answers, “For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it” ( Genesis 18:32). God reassures Abraham that if He finds fifty righteous people, he will spare the city for their sake. When Abraham learned of God’s plan to destroy the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, he asked God if He will spare them if He can find fifty innocent, godly people. Genesis 18:20-21 states, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. Sodom and Gomorrah were cities mentioned in Genesis, notorious for their flagrant sin. The Bible story of Sodom and Gomorrah is a cautionary tale of the destructive consequences of sin.
