ISB ~ Jude 1 v7

Sodom and Gommorah:Cities destroyed by fire for their wickedness, especially homosexual perversion (Gen 19:1-11, 24-29).

• This episode is a reversed image of that in the preceding verse: just as fallen angels once desired sexual intimacy with human women (see above commentary on Jude 6), so human men once desired sexual union with the angels who came to Sodom in disguise (Gen 19:5). Jewish tradition likewise noted the connection between these episodes (Testament of Naphtali 3, 4-5).
