CHAPTER 19: THE ANGELS VISIT SODOM
v.1 The two angels had gone on to Sodom. The judges of Sodom sat in the gate.
v.5 The men of Sodom wanted to have homosexual relations with the angels.
v.6-8 It is hard to understand why Lot would offer his virgin daughters to the wicked men of Sodom unless one understands that in those times women were considered chattel and were not esteemed as women have been since Christianity developed.
v.10 The angels pulled Lot back into the house.
v.14 Though Lot was righteous, his compromises in moving into the wicked city cost him his children. Only his two daughters who remained at home went with him.
v.31 The daughters thought they were the only survivors on the earth, so they acted to preserve life.
v.37,38 The Moabites and Ammonites were the result of these unions and caused continual problems for the Hebrews.
