Verse
Gn19-17
discussing
the prohibition, during the destruction of Sedom and Amorah,
of Lot staying in the plain
states
And it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, that he said,
Escape for your life; look not behind you, nor stay in the plain; escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed.
Rashi notes
The underlined word, plain, references
verse Gn13-10
which states that Lot was attracted to Sedom because of the fertile
Jordan plain.

|
And it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, that he said,
Escape for your life; look not behind you,
nor stay in the plain; escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed.
|
And Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw the Jordan plain,
that it was well watered everywhere, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as you come to Zoar.

Rashi comments:
The Angels, when they destroyed Sedom and Amorah, forbade Lot from remaining
in the plain. Here the reference is to the Jordan plain which
first attracted Lot to the Sedom region.
