And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds
salam, no do ye think that genesis 19 is suggesting that sodomy is of greater evil than rape ?
"Lest we think this story involves some claim that homosexuality was a sinful act
even greater than rape,we should understand that the crime of the Sodomites was not
homosexuality or rape but lack of hospitality.
"Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you,
bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes:
only unto these
men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. (Gen. 19:8)
In much of that region in ancient times, hospitality towards travelers and guests
played an important role bordering on obligation. The biblical narratives portray
many such accounts, as do myths from other cultures in the Mediterranean and Near
Eastern cultures. In one story, for example,Abraham:
lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them,
he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, Andsaid,My LORD, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray
thee, from thy servant: Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet,
and rest yourselves under the tree: And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye
your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant.
And they said, So do, as thou hast said. (Gen. 18:2–5)
And in another instance, when Abraham sends a servant to fetch a wife for Isaac,
the servant remarks:
Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city
come out to draw water: And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall
say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink,
and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for
thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my
master. (Gen. 24:13–14)
