Genesis 19:24-26
EasyEnglish Bible
24 Then the Lord poured sulphur that was on fire down on Sodom and Gomorrah. It fell from the sky like rain.[a] 25 In that way God destroyed those cities and everything in the valley. He killed all the people who lived in those cities. And he killed all the plants that grew on the land.
26 But as they ran away, Lot's wife looked back at the city. When she did that, she became a large piece of salt, like a pillar.[b]

- 19:24 God used hot sulphur to destroy the cities. Sulphur is yellow. It burns quickly with a lot of heat. But when it gets cold, it becomes like stone. Hot sulphur covered the cities and the people in them. It burnt them. It became like stone over everything in the city.
- 19:26 The angel had told Lot and his family not to look back. See Genesis 19:17. Lot's wife wanted to go back to the city because she liked living there.
