Gomorrha is the Greek form of Gomorrah, one of the cities of the plain that God destroyed with fire and sulfur alongside Sodom because of their wickedness (Genesis 19:24-25). New Testament writers invoke the memory of its destruction as a warning of certain divine judgment, whether Jesus warning towns that reject his messengers (Matthew 10:15) or Peter and Jude citing it as proof that God punishes the ungodly (2 Peter 2:6; Jude 1:7). Its exact site is unknown, though archaeologists have proposed locations near the southern end of the Dead Sea, including Bab edh-Dhra and Numeira, without any confirmed identification.
