Genesis 19 - Introduction

A.M. 2106. B.C. 1898.

In this chapter we have the result of the inquiry concerning the state of Sodom.

(1,) It was found upon trial that Lot was a good Man 1:1-3; but it did not appear that there were any more of the same character.

(2,) It was found that the Sodomites were very wicked, Genesis 19:4.

(3,) Special care was therefore taken for the securing of Lot and his family, Genesis 19:12.

(4,) The ruin of Sodom, and of Lot's wife, 24-26; with a general repetition of the story, Genesis 19:27.

(5,) A foul sin that Lot was guilty of, in committing incest with his two daughters, Genesis 19:30.
