February 7 / Genesis 19

Genesis 19

Dear RTB’ers,

Genesis 19, one of the saddest chapters in the Bible. How could anyone read Genesis 19 and still be positive for same-sex issues? The men of Sodom speaking: “Bring them out to us, that we may know them.” (v. 5b, ESV) The NASB is more deliberate: “Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them.” I’ll leave it at that.

As to Lot’s relations with his daughters… From these two incestual nights come the Moabites and the Ammonites. Remember these two names, these two tribes. We’ll see them as enemies of Israel years down the road.

Blessings!
