At that time the Lord was angry with the cities of the pagans and Jews
and Samaritans and of the false teachings in the south that had joined in
with the madness of the pagan Julian. Anger went forth from the Lord's
presence and began to destroy the unclean and pagan cities because of
(or over) their inhabitants, because they had defiled them with the blood
they had unjustly shed. And
it began to destroy the cities, twenty-one in
number, some of which were overthrown, others collapsed, and yet others
survived, in the month of Iyyar of the year 674, on the twenty-seventh day.
