Actually not so much… The sin of Sodom was corrupt courts, cruelty to the poor and a notion of “what is mine is mine and what is yours is yours”

Seriously. The sexual stuff was a big deal too, but the Rabbinic literature was much more focussed on the very Republican ways that the Sodomites did things.

Ludwig, are there any of the commentaries in English that go into this? I’d find it very helpful (on any of a number of levels) to have something like that when I’m studying my JPS Tanakh.
