Since there are not ten righteous persons found - the number is actually four: Lot and his family - the city is doomed to die, and the angels save him and his family from the downfall and send them out of the city. Sodom and Gomorrah are then destroyed by a rain of fire and brimstone fall upon them. When Lot's wife - contrary to a prohibition pronounced by the angels - looks back on the city, she is changed into a pillar of salt (Gen 19). Lot and his daughters are safe and will be protected by God. | Since there are not ten righteous persons found - the number is actually four: Lot and his family - the city is doomed to die, and the angels save him and his family from the downfall and send them out of the city.
