    Description

    Sodom in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Sodom was an ancient city located in the plain of Jordan, known for its great wickedness (Gen. 13:13). It was one of the five "cities of the plain" (Gen. 14:2) and was closely associated with Gomorrah. God determined to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah due to their grave sins (Gen. 18:20), but Abraham pleaded with God to spare the city if even ten righteous people could be found (Gen. 18:22-33). However, not even ten were found, and God rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah, completely destroying them (Gen. 19:24-25). Lot and his daughters were the only survivors, as they were warned by angels to flee (Gen. 19:15-16). Sodom became a byword for wickedness and divine judgment (Deut. 29:23; Isa. 1:9-10; Jer. 23:14; Ezek. 16:46-56; Matt. 10:15; 11:23-24; Luke 17:29; Rom. 9:29; 2Pet. 2:6; Jude 1:7; Rev. 11:8).

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
