Sidom

Hashem is going to destroy Sidom. He tells Avraham what he is going to do. Avraham asks if Hashem would save Sidom if there are a certain amount of righteous people there. Hashem said if there were righteous people there, He would, but since there aren’t, Hashem tells Avraham he is going to destroy Sidom. Hashem sends a Malach to save Lot and his family. The people in Sidom are the exact opposite of what Avraham stands for-Tzedek and Mishpat. Hashem might have destroyed them because they are lacking everything moral and ethical, but another way to look at why he destroyed them is because they don’t fit in with how the world is supposed to be. Avraham shows that he’s a good moral person by asking if the city could be saved by those people.
