*1 Rashi points out based on the explicit verse Gn14-02 that SEDOM and AMORAH were really a metropolis of 5 cities--SEDOM,AMORAH,ADMAH,TZEVOIM,BELA However SEDOM (& AMORAH) were the heavily populated centers while the other 3 were resort villages. Furthermore, SEDOM was the town center. So the entire collection was called SEDOM (Similarly the HAWAIIAN Islands consist of 8 Islands but we call them HAWAII based on the main Island) *2 It was reasonable that if - 10 people - 9 people were in the city that God would spare them. But if only - 8 people were in the city than God would not spare them just as God did not spare the world for the sake of 8 people in Noach's time (Noach+his 3 sons+their 4 wives=8---but God only spared Noach's family and not the whole world) *3 40 would justify saving 4 cities (10 @ city) but not sparing the 5th city. |
