Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Admah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text.

Usage: Admah is a city mentioned in the Old Testament, known as one of the "cities of the plain" that were destroyed alongside Sodom and Gomorrah. The name Admah is often associated with the concept of earth or ground, reflecting its etymological roots.

Cultural and Historical Background: Admah was one of the five cities of the plain located in the region of the Dead Sea. These cities were known for their wickedness and were ultimately destroyed by divine judgment due to their sinfulness. The destruction of Admah, along with Sodom, Gomorrah, Zeboiim, and Bela (Zoar), serves as a historical and moral lesson in the biblical narrative, emphasizing the consequences of sin and the righteousness of God's judgment.
