SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:12
Abram se asentó en la tierra de Canaán, y Lot se asentó en las ciudades de la llanura, y puso sus tiendas hasta Sodoma.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 13:13
Verse 13. The men of Sodom were wicked] µy[r raim, from [r , ra, to break in pieces, destroy, and afflict; meaning persons who broke the established order of things, destroyed and confounded the distinctions between right and wrong, and who afflicted and tormented both themselves and others. And sinners, µyafj chattaim, from afj chata, to miss the mark, to step wrong, to miscarry; the same as amartanw in Greek, from a, negative, and marptw to hit a mark; so a sinner is one who is ever aiming at happiness and constantly missing his mark; because, being wicked- radically evil within, every affection and passion depraved and out of order, he seeks for happiness where it never can be found, in worldly honours and possessions, and in sensual gratifications, the end of which is disappointment, affliction, vexation, and ruin. Such were the companions Lot must have in the fruitful land he had chosen. This, however, amounts to no more than the common character of sinful man; but the people of Sodom were exceedingly sinful and wicked before, or against, the Lord - they were sinners of no common character; they excelled in unrighteousness, and soon filled up the measure of their iniquities. See chap. xix.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-13 - Abram having offered Lot the choice, he at once accepted it. Passio and selfishness make men rude. Lot looked to the goodness of the land therefore he doubted not that in such a fruitful soil he shoul certainly thrive. But what came of it? Those who, in choosin relations, callings, dwellings, or settlements, are guided and governe by the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, or the pride of life cannot expect God's presence or blessing. They are commonl disappointed even in that which they principally aim at. In all ou choices this principle should rule, That is best for us, which is bes for our souls. Lot little considered the badness of the inhabitants The men of Sodom were impudent, daring sinners. This was the iniquit of Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness, Ez 16:49. God often gives great plenty to great sinners. It has often bee the vexatious lot of good men to live among wicked neighbours; and it must be the more grievous, if, as Lot here, they have brought it upo themselves by a wrong choice.
