In Gen. 19, when God decided to overturn and destroy the five cities of the plain, he sent angels to rescue Lot and his family. The men of Sodom sought to meet (in some translations, rape) the angels (19:5). Lot offers the men his daughters instead, whom he says are virgins (19:8), but the men were not interested. Consequently, an Arabic expression for homosexuals is derived from the name for the people of Lot or Lut(in Arabic).i.e., Luti.

When the sins of the Sodomites and of the neighboring cities had called down the vengeance of God to punish and destroy them, two angels were sent to Sodom to forewarn Lot of the dreadful catastrophe about to happen. The angels took Lot, his wife Irit, and his daughters by hand and drew them forcibly out of their house, saying, "Save yourselves with all haste. Look not behind you. Get as fast as you are able to the mountain, unless you be involved in the calamity of the city." Lot entreated the angels, who consented that he might retire to Zoar, which was one of the five doomed cities. His wife, looking back on Sodom, was turned into a pillar of salt.

Lot left Zoar and retired with his two daughters to a cave in an adjacent mountain. In Gen. 19:30-38, Lot's daughters incorrectly believed they were the only people to have survived the devastation[citation needed]. They assumed it was their responsibility to bear children and enable the continuation of the human race[citation needed]. The family had just left Zoar, and the daughters surely would have seen men there [see Hertz, J.H.,"The Pentateuch and Haftorahs" 2 ed. Soncino Press, London, 1972,page 69.] On two subsequent nights, according to the plan of the older daughter, they got their father drunk enough to have sexual intercourse with them. By him each became pregnant. The first son was named Moab (Hebrew, lit., "from the father" [meh-Av]). He was the patriarch of the nation known as Moab. The second son was named Ammon or Ben-Ammi (Hebrew, lit., "Son of my people"). He became the patriarch of the nation of Ammon.

You really should learn your Bible before you start babbling about jots and tittles,

Do you want to know the story of how God tried to kill Moses and Zipporah wiped a bloody foreskin on him to break off the attack?

Baby Jesus loves Turtle.

That wasn't me, that was Jesus speaking of jots and tittles. Please don't try to put words in my mouth.

I did wonder what had happened to Zipporah. I don't know how familiar she was with foreskins, but I'm nearly certain that the guy she ran off with wasn't named Moses.

I'm not surprised though, that you've become obsessed with the foreskin stories !

They call it the AMERIKAN DREAM because you have to be asleep (and you are) to believe it !

Good question. I haven't seen her post in a coon's age. I hope she's OK.
