Berean Strong's Lexicon Sedom: Sodom Original Word: סְדוֹם Word Origin: Derived from an ancient Semitic root, possibly related to the Akkadian word "ṣidūmu," meaning "burnt" or "scorched." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4670 Σόδομα (Sodoma): The Greek equivalent used in the New Testament, referring to the same city and its symbolic meaning of sin and judgment. Usage: Sodom is a city mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, known for its sinfulness and subsequent destruction by divine judgment. It is often used as a symbol of immorality and divine retribution. Cultural and Historical Background: Sodom was one of the five cities of the plain, along with Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, and Zoar, located in the region of the Dead Sea. The cities were known for their prosperity but also for their wickedness, particularly in terms of social injustice and sexual immorality. The narrative of Sodom's destruction is a key account in the Bible, illustrating God's judgment against sin and His mercy towards the righteous, as seen in the rescue of Lot and his family.
