What is Lot (biblical person)?
[[File:Albrecht Dürer - Lot's Flight - National Gallery of Art.jpg|thumb|Lots Flight, by [[Albrecht Dürer]]]] '''Lot''' was a [[person]] in the biblical [[Book of Genesis]] chapters 11–14 and 19. He moves to [[Sodom and Gomorrah]]. He leaves quickly when [[angel]]s warn him of the coming destruction of the cities, but his wife looks back 'and she became a pillar of salt' (Genesis 19:26) He fathers children with his daughters when they get him drunk. They gave birth to [[Moab]] and [[Ammon]]. ==Move to Sodom== Lot is the [[son]] of [[Abraham]]’s [[brother]] [[Haran]], son of [[Terah]]. After Haran dies, Lot moves with Abraham to [[Canaan]].

Then Abraham asks the Almighty what He would do if there were 20 and He says he wouldn’t kill anyone in the [[city]] at all. Then Abraham asks if there were 10 and The Almighty says that if there were 10 good people in [[Sodom and Gomorrah]], He wouldn’t destroy the [[city]] at all. So the Almighty sent two [[angel]]s to pretend to be [[human]]s and go to [[Sodom and Gomorrah]]to look for 10 good p
