قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

قوم نمود؛ تابستان در دشت و زمستان در کوه

از این تعبیر چنین به نظر می‌رسد که قوم ثمودء محل زندگی خود را در تابستان و زمستان تغییر می‌دادند. در فصل بهار و تابستان» در دشت‌های وسیع و پربرکت به زراعت و دامداری می‌پرداختند و به همین جهت خانه‌های مرفه و زیبایی در دشت داشتند» و به هنگام فرا رسیدن فصل سرما و تمام شدن برداشت محصول, به خانه‌های مستحکمی که در دل صخره‌ها تراشیده بودند و در مناطق امن و امانی قرار داشت و از گزند طوفان و سیلاب و حوادث برکنار بودء آسوده‌خاطر زندگی می‌کردند.
