Analyzing the story of Lot (part 3)

Four parts & post dates 
Sept. 7th Intro - Before
Sept. 14th During
Sept. 21st After  (this one)
Sept. 28th Summary

AFTER (aftermath of the destruction) versus 30 – 38

Lot Finally listened to the angels and went up to the mountain (compare 30 to 17 – 23).  The daughters plot to have children by their father (31-35) by getting him drunk. This is where the Moab and Bena-ammi came from!

Nuggets from 30-38:

  • Lot finally enters into the mountains, going through Zoar which was saved!
  • The older daughter says they  must cause their father’s seed to be passed on however it is never implied Lot had any sons within this story, there is a theory Lot had ten people in his family which is why Abraham stopped at that number. It is important to not they went through Zoar but still did this act, showing their morals was harmed while in the Sodom.
  • The most important moral from this story is the fact he had to separate from Abraham because of having too much wealth, when he left Sodom he had nothing, the war that went on his uncle recovered most of what he lost – I believe the moral is that Sin will make you barely escape from your life and you will lose all you have.
