1693. Genesis 14:11. And [the four] took all the resources of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went away.

They took all the resources of Sodom and Gomorrah means that [the hells] were stripped of the power to do evil. And all their food means that they were stripped of the power to think falsely. And went away means that this is how they were left.
