📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative of Genesis, God had decided to destroy the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah due to their widespread wickedness and moral corruption. Abraham had previously interceded with God, bargaining to spare the cities if even a few righteous people were found, which led God to ensure the safety of Abraham's nephew Lot. As a result, when the destruction occurred, God remembered Abraham's plea and rescued Lot from the devastation.
