Summary: The Lord on earth brought judgment on Sodom “from the Lord” in heaven.

Greek text · Archambault 1:262–264

Οὗ ἐλθόντος, οὐκέτι δύο ἄγγελοι ὁμιλοῦσι τῷ Λὼτ ἀλλʼ αὐτός, ὡς ὁ λόγος δηλοῖ, καὶ κύριός ἐστι, παρὰ κυρίου τοῦ ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ τουτέστι τοῦ ποιητοῦ τῶν ὅλων, λαβὼν τὸ ταῦτα ἐπενεγκεῖν Σοδόμοις καὶ Γομόρροις ἅπερ ὁ λόγος καταριθμεῖ, οὕτως εἰπών· Κύριος ἔβρεξεν ἐπὶ Σόδομα καὶ Γόμορρα θεῖον καὶ πῦρ παρὰ κυρίου ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.

English · Claude translation

“And when he came, it is no longer the two angels who speak with Lot, but he himself, as the word shows; and he is Lord, having received from the Lord who is in heaven, that is, the Maker of all things, the charge to bring upon Sodom and Gomorrah the things the word recounts, speaking thus: ‘The Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.’”
