Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Strong's Greek entry for Gomorrah is G1116 (Γόμορρα, Gomorra). This Greek term is used in the New Testament to refer to the same city, particularly in contexts that recall its destruction as a warning against immorality and divine retribution (e.g., Matthew 10:15, 2 Peter 2:6, and Jude 1:7). Usage: The term "Amorah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the city of Gomorrah. It is often mentioned alongside Sodom, another city that faced similar destruction. The name appears in various contexts, primarily in narratives describing the cities' sinfulness and subsequent destruction. Context: Amorah, known in English as Gomorrah, is one of the five cities of the plain mentioned in the Bible, which also includes Sodom, Admah, Zeboiim, and Zoar. These cities are located in the region of the Jordan Valley, near the Dead Sea. Gomorrah, along with Sodom, is most famously known for its destruction by fire and brimstone as a divine judgment for its inhabitants' grievous sins, as recorded in Genesis 19. The narrative of Gomorrah serves as a moral and theological lesson on the consequences of sin and the righteousness of divine justice. The destruction of Gomorrah is referenced throughout the Bible as a symbol of God's judgment and is used as a warning against ungodliness (e.g., Deuteronomy 29:23, Isaiah 13:19, Jeremiah 49:18, and Jude 1:7). The historical and archaeological identification of Gomorrah remains uncertain, with various theories suggesting locations near the southern end of the Dead Sea.
