'Cities' in the Bible

Abram lived in the land of Canaan, but Lot lived in the cities of the valley and set up his tent near Sodom.

He demolished these cities, the entire plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and whatever grew on the ground.

So it was, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, He remembered Abraham and brought Lot out of the middle of the upheaval when He demolished the cities where Lot had lived.

When they set out, a terror from God came over the cities around them, and they did not pursue Jacob’s sons.

Let them gather all the excess food during these good years that are coming. Under Pharaoh’s authority, store the grain in the cities, so they may preserve it as food.

Joseph gathered all the excess food in the land of Egypt during the seven years and put it in the cities. He put the food in every city from the fields around it.

and Joseph moved the people to the cities from one end of Egypt to the other.
