The cities are the subject of a passage in the Bible ([[Genesis]] 18 & 19). God himself sought out Abraham in the guise of three angels in male form, to inform him that he planned to destroy the cities of Sodom (where Abraham's nephew Lot resides) and Gomorrah, if the sinful behavior of their inhabitants was indeed as evil as He heard. Abraham asked God if he really wanted to destroy guilty and innocent people without distinction, with God assuring him that he would spare Sodom if as few as ten righteous people could be found living in it (Gen 18:16).
