Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3091 (Λώτ, Lōt): This Greek entry corresponds to the Hebrew לוֹט (Lot) and is used in the New Testament to refer to the same biblical figure, Lot, particularly in the context of his deliverance from Sodom as mentioned in 2 Peter 2:7.

This entry provides a comprehensive overview of Lot's role and significance in biblical history, emphasizing his relationship with Abraham, his experiences in Sodom, and his legacy through his descendants.

Usage: Lot is primarily used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to the nephew of Abraham. He is a significant figure in the narratives of Genesis, particularly in the accounts of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Context: • Lot in Genesis: Lot is introduced in Genesis as the son of Haran, Abraham's brother, making him Abraham's nephew. He travels with Abraham from Ur of the Chaldeans to Canaan (Genesis 11:31). Lot's story is intertwined with that of Abraham, as they both prosper in the land, leading to a separation due to the size of their flocks and herds (Genesis 13:5-11). Lot chooses to settle in the well-watered plains of the Jordan, near the city of Sodom.
• Sodom and Gomorrah: Lot's residence in Sodom becomes a pivotal part of his narrative. The city is described as exceedingly wicked, and Lot's choice to live there leads to his involvement in the events surrounding its destruction. In Genesis 19, two angels visit Lot to warn him of the impending judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot's hospitality and the subsequent events highlight his righteousness amidst a corrupt society. The angels instruct Lot to flee with his family, and he is ultimately saved from the destruction, though his wife famously turns into a pillar of salt for looking back at the city (Genesis 19:26).
• Legacy and Descendants: After the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot's daughters, believing they are the last humans on earth, intoxicate him and bear children by him. These children become the ancestors of the Moabites and Ammonites (Genesis 19:30-38), who play significant roles in the later history of Israel.
• New Testament References: Lot is mentioned in the New Testament as a righteous man distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless (2 Peter 2:7-8). His story serves as a moral and spiritual lesson on the dangers of living in close association with wickedness and the importance of divine deliverance.
