ExplanationCommentary
Verse 24. The Lord rained … from the Lord, in a miraculous manner. Sodom and the other cities did not perish by earthquakes and other natural causes only, but by the divine wrath exerting itself in a visible manner. Here is an insinuation of a plurality of persons in God, as the Calmet. of Sirmich declares, chapter 14.—And Gomorrha, and the other towns which were not so large, nor perhaps so infamous.—Brimstone and fire; to denote the bad odour and violence of their disorders. Menochius.
