Genesis 19:24-25

Context
19:24 Then the Lord rained down¹ sulfur and fire² on Sodom and Gomorrah. It was sent down from the sky by the Lord.³ 19:25 So he overthrew those cities and all that region,⁴ including all the inhabitants of the cities and the vegetation that grew⁵ from the ground.

¹tn The disjunctive clause signals the beginning of the next scene and highlights God’s action.

²tn Or “burning sulfur” (the traditional “fire and brimstone”).

³tn Heb “from the Lord from the heavens.” The words “It was sent down” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

sn The text explicitly states that the sulfur and fire that fell on Sodom and Gomorrah was sent down from the sky by the Lord. What exactly this was, and how it happened, can only be left to intelligent speculation, but see J. P. Harland, “The Destruction of the Cities of the Plain,” BA 6 (1943): 41-54.

⁴tn Or “and all the plain”; Heb “and all the circle,” referring to the “circle” or oval area of the Jordan Valley.

⁵tn Heb “and the vegetation of the ground.”
