 the city of Sodom. Here's what it says. Abram lived in the land of Canaan while Lot lived among the cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom. Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the Lord. It's interesting how Lot's disintegration began. It only began by pitching his tent in the direction of Sodom. If you would have said to him, you know, one day you're going to live there, Lot. One day you're going to be part of those people. He would have said, no, all I'm doing is camping in the neighborhood.
