Vine Of Sodom [1]
( גּפן־סרם , gephen ṣedhōm ):
"For their vine is of the vine of Sodom,
And of the fields of Gomorrah:
Their grapes are grapes of gall,
Their clusters are bitter" ( Deuteronomy 32:32 ).
This must be distinguished from the "Apples of Sodom" (which see), described by Josephus ( Bj , IV, viii, 4), which appear to have been an actual species of fruit, probably either the colocynth or the fruit of the Usher tree, Calotropis procera . It would appear, however, from the above, the only passage referring to the Vine of Sodom, that this expression is metaphorical and does not refer to any particular plant.
