sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Torah brimstone and fire rained from heaven and destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah as punishment for their wickedness. The later books use brimstone as a picture of God's judgment on the wicked and on enemy lands, such as Edom. Interpretation: Tradition reads Sodom's destruction as a lesson that cruelty and lack of kindness to the poor and strangers bring judgment. Psalms says fire and brimstone will be the "portion of their cup" for the wicked, and Isaiah says Edom's dust will turn to brimstone, which tradition reads as complete ruin. In the primary lessons: in old tales brimstone is the stuff of hell and fire; in exclamations it shows anger
