Genesis Chapter 19

THE TORAH

GENESIS

BEREISHIT

The book of Bereishit (also known as Genesis) is the first book of the Torah. It begins with the creation of the world by G-d in six days. After creating the earth, G-d brings forth Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The first humans are quickly banished from the garden after breaking G-d’s commandment and eating from the Tree of Knowledge. The lineage of humanity is established as the book chronicles the descendants of Adam and Eve. The narrative follows the lives of well-known figures such as Cain and Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. The book explores themes of human nature, morality, and faith, as well as the relationship between G-d and humanity. The book ends with the descendants of Abraham settling in Egypt, setting the stage for the following book in the Torah, Exodus.

Genesis Chapter 19 Brings in G-d’s Anger Against a Sinful City

Should G-d act with injustice? Absolutely not!

LGBTQA+ is one of those practices of Sodom back in those days.

“The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah”
“The Roots of Jewish Monarchy”

The two angels came to Sodom in the evening and Lot was sitting at the gate of Sodom; …
19:1
And he said, “Behold now, my lords; turn about, please, to your servant’s house; spend the night and wash your feet, then wake up early and go your way!” And they said, “No, rather we will spend the night in the square.”
19:2
And he urged them very much, so they turned toward him and came to his house; he made a feast for them and baked matzos, and they ate.
19:3
They had not yet lain down when the townspeople, Sodomites converged upon the house, from young to old, all the people from every quarter.
:4
And they said, “Stand back! … Now we will treat you worse than them!” They pressed exceedingly upon the man, upon Lot, and they approached to break the door.
:9
The men stretched out their hand and brought Lot into the house with them, and closed the door.
:10
And the men who were at the entrance of the house they struck with blindness, …
:11
for we are about to destroy this place for their outcry has become great before Hashem, so Hashem has sent us to destroy it.”
:13
And just as dawn was breaking, the angels urged Lot on saying: “Get up — take your wife and your two daughters who are present, lest you be swept away because of the sin of the city!”
:15
And it was as they took them out that one said: “Flee for your life! Do not look behind you nor stop anywhere in all the plain; flee to the mountain lest you be swept away.”
:17
Now Hashem had caused sulfur and fire to rain upon Sodom and Gomorrah, from Hashem, out of heaven.
:24
His wife peered behind him and she became a pillar of salt.
:26
And so it was when God destroyed the cities of the plain that God remembered Abraham; so He sent Lot from amidst the upheaval when He returned the cities in which Lot had lived.
:29
Now Lot went up from Zoar and settled on the mountain, his two daughters with him, for he was afraid to remain in Zoar; he dwell in a cave, he with his two daughters.
:30
Come, let us ply our father with wine and lie with him that we may give life to offspring through our father.”
:32
Thus, Lot’s two daughters conceived from their father.
:36
The older bore a son and she called his name Moab; he is the ancestor of Moab until this day.
:37
And the younger one also bore a son and she called his name Ben-ammi; he is the ancestor of the children of Ammon until this day.
:38

1 And the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom, and Lot saw and arose toward them, and he prostrated himself on his face to the ground.
2 And he said, “Behold now my lords, please turn to your servant’s house and stay overnight and wash your feet, and you shall arise early and go on your way.” And they said, “No, but we will stay overnight in the street.”
3 And he urged them strongly, and they turned in to him, and came into his house, and he made them a feast, and he baked unleavened cakes, and they ate.
4 When they had not yet retired, and the people of the city, the people of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, the entire populace from every end[of the city].
5 And they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, and let us be intimate with them.”
6 And Lot came out to them to the entrance, and he shut the door behind him.
7 And he said, “My brethren, please do not do evil.
8 Behold now I have two daughters who were not intimate with a man. I will bring them out to you, and do to them as you see fit; only to these men do nothing, because they have come under the shadow of my roof.”
9 But they said, “Back away.” And they said, “This one came to sojourn, and he is judging! Now, we will deal even worse with you than with them.” And they pressed hard upon the man Lot, and they drew near to break the door.
10 And the men stretched forth their hands, and they brought Lot to them to the house, and they shut the door.
11 And the men who were at the entrance of the house they struck with blindness, both small and great, and they toiled in vain to find the entrance.
12 And the men said to Lot, “Whom else do you have here? A son-in-law, your sons, and your daughters, and whomever you have in the city, take out of the place.
13 For we are destroying this place, because their cry has become great before the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it.”
14 So Lot went forth and spoke to his sons-in-law, the suitors of his daughters, and he said, “Arise, go forth from this place, for the Lord is destroying the city,” but he seemed like a comedian in the eyes of his sons-in-law.
15 And as the dawn rose, the angels pressed Lot, saying, “Get up, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you perish because of the iniquity of the city.”
16 But he tarried, and the men took hold of his hand and his wife’s hand, and the hand of his two daughters, out of the Lord’s pity for him, and they took him out and placed him outside the city.
17 And it came to pass, when they took them outside, that he said, “Flee for your life, do not look behind you, and do not stand in the entire plain. Flee to the mountain, lest you perish.”
18 And Lot said to them, “Please, do not, O Lord.
19 Behold now, Your servant has found favor in Your eyes, and You have increased Your kindness, which You have done with me, to sustain my soul. But I cannot flee to the mountain, lest the evil overtake me, and I die.
20 Behold now, this city is near to flee there, and it is small. Let me please flee there. Is it not small? And my soul will survive.”
21 And he said to him, “Behold I have favored you also as regards this matter, that I will not overturn the city that you have mentioned.
22 Hasten, flee there, for I will not be able to do anything until you arrive there.” Therefore, he named the city Zoar.
23 The sun came out upon the earth, and Lot came to Zoar.
24 And the Lord caused to rain down upon Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire, from the Lord, from heaven.
25 And He turned over these cities and the entire plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and the vegetation of the ground.
26 And his wife looked from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 And Abraham arose early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the Lord.
28 And he looked over the face of Sodom and Gomorrah and over the entire face of the land of the plain, and he saw, and behold, the smoke of the earth had risen like the smoke of a furnace.
29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and He sent Lot out of the midst of the destruction when He overturned the cities in which Lot had dwelt.
30 And Lot went up from Zoar, and he dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters were with him, for he was afraid to dwell in Zoar; so he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
31 And the elder said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man on earth to come upon us, as is the custom of all the earth.
32 Come, let us give our father wine to drink, and let us lie with him, and let us bring to life seed from our father.”
33 And they gave their father wine to drink on that night, and the elder came and lay with her father, and he did not know of her lying down or of her rising up.
34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the elder said to the younger, “Behold, last night I lay with my father. Let us give him wine to drink tonight too, and come, lie with him, and let us bring to life seed from our father.”
35 So they gave their father to drink on that night also, and the younger arose and lay with him, and he did not know of her lying down or of her rising up.
36 And Lot’s two daughters conceived from their father.
37 And the elder bore a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of Moab until this day.
38 And the younger, she too bore a son, and she named him Ben-ami; he is the father of the children of Ammon until this day.

GALLERY
Bible reading in the form of Scripture in pictures can have a profound impact on those who may have never read a chapter in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Viewing pivotal verses in a visual context can deepen one’s understanding of the text and provide a unique perspective. The images may help to illustrate important themes and messages that may not have been as easily grasped through standard reading. Additionally, this method can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with traditional reading methods or for those who are more visually inclined. The power of visual storytelling has been utilized for centuries, and when paired with the timeless words of Scripture, it has the potential to bring new life and meaning to the ancient text. Ultimately, whatever method one chooses to engage with the Bible, the most important thing is to seek a deeper understanding of God’s word, and to apply it to our lives in a meaningful way.
