SODOMAʼ, sodomaʼ
Sounds Like: SO-doh-mah
Translations: Sodom, 384
From the root: ΣΟΔΟΜΑ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun, Numeral
Explanation: This word can refer to Sodom, the ancient city mentioned in the Bible, known for its destruction due to its wickedness. It is a proper noun, typically referring to this specific location. Alternatively, the final keraia (ʼ) indicates that the word is being used as a numeral. In the Greek numeral system, Σ represents 200, Ο represents 70, Δ represents 4, Ο represents 70, Μ represents 40, and Α represents 1. Summing these values (200 + 70 + 4 + 70 + 40 + 1) gives 385. However, the standard Strong's entry for Sodom (G4670) is Σόδομα, which is a proper noun. The numerical interpretation is less common for this specific word but possible given the keraia. The most common interpretation is the city of Sodom.
