Lot and his family. (Genesis 19:1-29)
Lot, his wife, and their two daughters fled Sodom and Gomorrah before the cities were destroyed by fire and brimstone. However, Lot's wife looked back against the warning and turned into a pillar of salt.
In this biblical account from Genesis, Lot flees the city of Sodom, which is on the verge of destruction due to its wickedness. He takes refuge in Zoar, a nearby town, just as God unleashes a fiery rain upon Sodom and Gomorrah as a divine judgment. This dramatic scene underscores the themes of mercy and judgment, highlighting Lot's escape while emphasizing the fate of the sinful cities. The fiery destruction serves as a stark warning about the consequences of immorality.
Lot was afraid of going to Zoar because he feared that the city, like Sodom and Gomorrah, might also be destroyed due to its wickedness. He expressed concern that if he fled to a smaller city, it might not be safe. Additionally, Lot was overwhelmed by the urgency of the situation as he was warned by the angels to escape the impending destruction. His apprehension reflects his uncertainty about finding safety even in a city that appeared to be spared.

Genesis, chapter 11 tells us that Lot was the grandson of Terah. Terah was also the father of Abram (Abraham). This would make Lot Abraham's nephew. Lot accompanied Abraham and Sarah to Canaan. It was Lot who moved to Sodom and it was Lot's wife who was turned into a piller of salt because she looked back at Sodom as God was destroying that city. Lot and two of his daughters fled Sodom and was living in a cave. The daughters fearing their family would become extinct got their father, Lot, drunk with wine and each had a child by him. One child was the progenitor of the Moabites, and the other son was the progenitor of the Ammonites.

The first great consequence Lot suffered from moving to Sodom was the moral decay and corruption surrounding him and his family. Living in a city known for its wickedness, Lot faced the challenge of raising his family in an environment filled with sin and vice. This ultimately led to significant turmoil within his household and culminated in the tragic loss of his wife, who looked back at the city as they fled, turning into a pillar of salt.
A:Today, we have new forms of entertainment, including novels and movies. What they often have in common is that they are recognisably fictitious and contain suspense and killings. Some of the greatest Old Testament stories contain a great deal of killing, including Cain and Abel, Noah's Flood, the destruction of Sodom, the destruction of an entire Egyptian army as Moses and the Israelites fled, and the genocidal invasion of Canaan. Nearly all scholars also regard these stories as not part of history - the supposed events did not really occur. The Hebrew people enjoyed a good story as much as we do today, and one of the things that seem to make a good story is a lot of killing.
