Sod·om
/ˈsɑdəm/
罪惡之地
From:
WordNet (r) 2.0
sodom
n
1:
any
location
known
for
vice
and
corruption
2: (
Old
Testament
)
an
ancient
city
near
the
Dead
Sea
that
(
along
with
Gomorrah
)
was
destroyed
by
God
for
the
wickedness
of
its
inhabitants
From:
Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Sodom
burning
;
the
walled
,
a
city
in
the
vale
of
Siddim
(
Gen
. 13:10;
14:1-16).
The
wickedness
of
its
inhabitants
brought
down
upon
it
fire
from
heaven
,
by
which
it
was
destroyed
(18:16-33; 19:1-29;
Deut
. 23:17).
This
city
and
its
awful
destruction
are
frequently
alluded
to
in
Scripture
(
Deut
. 29:23; 32:32;
Isa
. 1:9, 10; 3:9;
13:19;
Jer
. 23:14;
Ezek
. 16:46-56;
Zeph
. 2:9;
Matt
. 10:15;
Rom
.
9:29; 2
Pet
. 2:6,
etc
.).
No
trace
of
it
or
of
the
other
cities
of
the
plain
has
been
discovered
,
so
complete
was
their
destruction
.
Just
opposite
the
site
of
Zoar
,
on
the
south-west
coast
of
the
Dead
Sea
,
is
a
range
of
low
hills
,
forming
a
mass
of
mineral
salt
called
Jebel
Usdum
, "
the
hill
of
Sodom
."
It
has
been
concluded
,
from
this
and
from
other
considerations
,
that
the
cities
of
the
plain
stood
at
the
southern
end
of
the
Dead
Sea
.
Others
,
however
,
with
much
greater
probability
,
contend
that
they
stood
at
the
northern
end
of
the
sea
. [
in
1897].
From:
Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)
