Their country stretching from Zidon to Gaza, in the direction of Gerar; and to Lasha, in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim.

And Lot, lifting up his eyes and looking an the valley of Jordan, saw that it was well watered everywhere, before the Lord had sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah; it was like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, on the way to Zoar.

Abram went on living in the land of Canaan, and Lot went to the lowland towns, moving his tent as far as Sodom.

Now the men of Sodom were evil, and great sinners before the Lord.

They made war with Bera, king of Sodom, and with Birsha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Admah, and Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (which is Zoar).

And the king of Sodom with the king of Gomorrah and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela (that is Zoar), went out, and put their forces in position in the valley of Siddim,

Now the valley of Siddim was full of holes of sticky earth; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah were put to flight and came to their end there, but the rest got away to the mountain.

And the four kings took all the goods and food from Sodom and Gomorrah and went on their way.

And in addition they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who was living in Sodom, and all his goods.

And when he was coming back after putting to flight Chedorlaomer and the other kings, he had a meeting with the king of Sodom in the valley of Shaveh, that is, the King's Valley.

And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the prisoners and take the goods for yourself.

But Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have taken an oath to the Lord, the Most High God, maker of heaven and earth,

And the men went on from there in the direction of Sodom; and Abraham went with them on their way.

And the Lord said, Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is very great, and their sin is very evil,

And the men, turning from that place, went on to Sodom: but Abraham was still waiting before the Lord.

And at nightfall the two angels came to Sodom; and Lot was seated at the way into the town: and when he saw them he got up and came before them, falling down on his face to the earth.

But before they had gone to bed, the men of the town, all the men of Sodom, came round the house, young and old, from every part of the town;

Then the Lord sent fire and flaming smoke raining down from heaven on Sodom and Gomorrah.

And looking in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the lowland, he saw the smoke of the land going up like the smoke of an oven.
