📚 Historical Context
This occurs just before God destroys the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah for their extreme wickedness. Abraham had previously interceded for these cities, asking God to spare them if even ten righteous people could be found there. The angels had come to rescue Lot, Abraham's nephew, who was the only righteous man living in Sodom.
