The Hidden Meaning Behind Sodom and Gomorrah

The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah have become by-words. One is of a deviant sexual at the other has found its refuge in the name of a disease.

The primary sin was in that of homosexual rape of foreigners which followed by robbery. The victims would sue for justice in the Canaanite courts only to be denied resolution. They were reconstituted gold, a gold which none of the men or women of these cities accepted. These victims would then die of deprivation. Compounding to their sin, any caught helping them faced death by the means of stoning, burning, or other slower mechanisms. So notorious was the behavior of these cities travelers would avoid these locales at all costs.

Rightfully so the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah were sexual in nature, but the names of the cities carry other connotations far hidden from the eyes of laymen

From the Abarim Hebrew Dictionary

Gomorrah is similar to the root group עמר ('amar I, II & III):

There are at least two separate roots עמר ('amar) recorded in the Bible, but some scholars insist that there's a third one. This third root isn't used in the narrative; only as the source of names.

The root עמר ('amar I) doesn't occur in the Bible, but (as BDB Theological Dictionary suggests) perhaps it's related to an Arabic verb that means to be abundant. Its derivations are:

The masculine noun עמר ('omer), meaning sheaf (Deuteronomy 24:19, Ruth 2:7).

The identical masculine noun עמר ('omer), which is a unit of measure used only in Exodus 16:16 to 16:36.

The masculine noun עמיר ('amir), denoting a row of fallen grain (Amos 2:13, Micah 4:12).

The denominative verb עמר ('amar), meaning to bind in sheaves (Psalm 129:7 only).

עמר II

The verb עמר ('amar II), meaning to deal tyrannically with, occurs only twice in the Bible: Deuteronomy 21:14 and 24:7.

עמר III

The verb עמר ('amar III) is omitted from the narrative of the Bible. But it exists in other languages, where it means to live or live long, or even to worship. The Biblical name Omri also exists in other languages, and it is believed to have come from this root-verb.

According to the BDB Theological Dictionary the name Gomorrah is listed under עמר II, meaning to deal tyrannical with. A proper (feminine) noun derived from this verb would mean something like Tyrannical Dealings.

Thus, it was not just a sexual sin that led to the complete annihilation of these two cities. Sodom and Gomorrah are unmistakably about the injustice brought forth by systems of government and the peoples that define them. Systems that feature Secret Societies and Guilds. Who rule their fellow men in Tyranny and deceit.
