How do you use the word glance in a sentence?
A glance is to take a brief look. To use it in a sentence, one could say "Lot's wife took a glance at the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah as she left, and was turned into a pillar of salt."

What was the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah?
Sodom and Gomorrah were settlements south of the Dead Sea, believed on the Jordan side. It is thought that residents there were mining salt from the nearby Mount Sodom, which was one of the most valuable commodities in those times - and from which we derive the words 'salary' 'soldier' and others. Apparently destroyed by earthquakes, endemic to the area. Given the hostile environment where few would want to live, as well as probable lack of pastimes or female partners, it had a reputation for homosexuality - hence the word 'sodomy'. Naturally after it was destroyed, religious attributions implied their sexual behaviour caused their destruction. Being situated at the lowest place on earth, the Dead Sea, the resulting evaporation of sea water is the cause for the salt. Since salt enabled the society to progress from hunter/gatherer, enabling the user to preserve meat instead of daily hunting, and permitted humans to begin developing agriculture, and later - iPhones, it is understandable why it was such a valuable commodity. Even today the surrounding area is relatively fruitful, thanks to underground springs, and surrounding settlements take advantage of it. But it is still located in an extreme desert, as it was a few thousand years ago. The reason for the earthquakes is because the area is situated on the Israel/Jordan Rift Valley, with the Jordanian side relatively moving northward at a rate of 2-2.5mm per year. There has been an estimated 100km movement since it first started at least 50 million years ago.

Where was Sodom?
Some archaeologists are still debating the location of both cities. Some believe they never existed at all. Yet, evidence from the Ebla Tablets indicates that both cities, together with other nearby towns mentioned in the Bible narrative actually existed. So, in the light of these references such ongoing skepticism appears unwarranted. Further to this a large burial area has been found near one of the possible sites, as has evidence of volcanic activity and balls of sulfur (the brimstone mentioned in the KJV). The relevant sites are near the Dead Sea, near where the Bible says these cities were located. Sodom and Gomorrah were settlements south of the Dead Sea, believed on the Jordan side. It is thought that residents there were mining salt from the nearby Mount Sodom, which was one of the most valuable commodities in those times - and from which we derive the words 'salary' 'soldier' and others.

Why did Lot and his wife leave their home in Sodom?
Lot was warned that Sodom would be destroyed because of the wickedness of the citizens of Sodom. He pleaded to delay the destruction until he could find any worthy people who could be saved. He found none so he gathered his family and left town. The story starts at Genesis 19. 12 Then the men said to Lot, "Have you any one else here? Sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or any one you have in the city, bring them out of the place; 13 for we are about to destroy this place, because the outcry against its people has become great before the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it." 14 So Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, "Up, get out of this place; for the LORD is about to destroy the city." But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be jesting. 15 When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city." 16 But he lingered; so the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, the LORD being merciful to him, and they brought him forth and set him outside the city.
