Genesis 19:24-29
19:24 Then the
Lord rained down
sulfur and fire
on Sodom and Gomorrah. It was sent down from the sky by the
Lord.
19:25 So he overthrew those cities and all that region,
including all the inhabitants of the cities and the vegetation that grew
from the ground.
19:26 But Lot’s
wife looked back longingly
and was turned into a pillar of salt.
19:27 Abraham got up early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before the Lord.
19:28 He looked out toward Sodom and Gomorrah and all the land of that region. As he did so, he saw the smoke rising up from the land like smoke from a furnace.
19:29 So when God destroyed the cities of the region, God honored Abraham’s request. He removed Lot from the midst of the destruction when he destroyed the cities Lot had lived in.
