13 Mas los hombres de Sodoma eran malos y pecadores para con el SEÑOR en gran manera

Génesis 13:13 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 13:13

But the men of Sodom [were] wicked
Which either he knew not, and so ignorantly made this bad choice, to take up his abode among such very wicked men, which occasioned a great deal of grief, trouble, and vexation to him; or if he knew it, the pleasing prospect of convenience for his cattle, and of enriching himself, was a temptation to him, and prevailed upon him to take such a step; and so Jarchi interprets it, "although" they were so, Lot was not restrained from dwelling among them: and sinners before the Lord exceedingly;
exceeding great sinners, guilty of the most notorious crimes, and addicted to the most scandalous and unnatural lusts that can be thought of; and these they committed openly and publicly in the sight of God, in the most daring and impudent manner, and in defiance of him, without any fear or shame. The Targum of Jonathan reckons up many of their sins, as defrauding of one another in their substance, sinning in their bodies, incest, unclean copulation, shedding of innocent blood, worshipping of idols, and rebelling against the name of the Lord; see ( Isaiah 3:9 ) ( Ezekiel 16:49 ) .

Génesis 13:13 In-Context

11 Entonces Lot escogió para sí toda la llanura del Jordán; y se fue Lot al oriente, y se apartaron el uno del otro

12 Abram se asentó en la tierra de Canaán, y Lot se asentó en las ciudades de la llanura, y puso sus tiendas hasta Sodoma

13 Mas los hombres de Sodoma eran malos y pecadores para con el SEÑOR en gran manera

14 Y el SEÑOR dijo a Abram, después que Lot se apartó de él: Alza ahora tus ojos, y mira desde el lugar donde tú estás hacia el aquilón, y al mediodía, y al oriente y al occidente

15 porque toda la tierra que tú ves, la daré a ti y a tu simiente para siempre
