 19:28
19:28 He stared at Sodom and Gomorrah and the whole area of the plain, and all he saw was heavy smoke rising from the earth, like the smoke of a lime kiln.
Vayashkef al-peney Sedom va'Amorah ve'al kol-peney erets hakikar vayar vehineh alah kitor ha'arets kekitor hakivshan.


Commentary:

lime kiln
  Lime produces prodigious quantities of smoke when it is slaked.
