DEUTERONOMY 29:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:”
All its soil burned out by sulfur and salt, nothing planted, nothing sprouting, unable to support any vegetation, like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, which the LORD destroyed in his anger and wrath — the land becomes barren like Sodom: sulfur and salt poison the earth ('gefer v'melach sherufa et kol artza'). The Pentapolis (Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboim) is the biblical paradigm of divine destruction.
