  • Gen 11:31 : 31 Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan. But when they came to Harran, they settled there.

  • Gen 19:1-9 : 1 The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting at the city gate. When Lot saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. 2 He said, "Please, my lords, turn aside to your servant’s house. Spend the night and wash your feet; then you can rise early and be on your way." But they said, "No, we will spend the night in the square." 3 But Lot insisted strongly, so they turned aside to him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking unleavened bread, and they ate. 4 Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. 5 They called to Lot and said, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so we can have relations with them." 6 Lot went outside to meet them, closing the door behind him. 7 He said, "No, my brothers. Please, don’t do this wicked thing. 8 Look, I have two daughters who have never been with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do to them whatever seems good to you. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof." 9 They replied, "Get out of the way! This man came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to act as a judge! We’ll treat you worse than them." They pressed hard against Lot and moved forward to break down the door. 10 But the men inside reached out, pulled Lot back into the house with them, and shut the door. 11 Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, both young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the doorway. 12 The men said to Lot, "Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, 13 because we are about to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it." 14 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, "Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!" But to his sons-in-law, he seemed to be joking. 15 With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished." 16 When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand, the hands of his wife, and the hands of his two daughters, and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. 17 As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, "Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains, or you will be swept away!" 18 But Lot said to them, "No, my lords, please!" 19 "Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me by sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. 20 Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared." 21 He said to him, "Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. 22 But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it." (That is why the town was called Zoar.) 23 By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. 24 Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. 25 Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. 26 But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. 27 Early the next morning, Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. 28 He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and the entire plain, and he saw that smoke was rising from the land like smoke from a furnace. 29 So it came to pass when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham and brought Lot out from the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.
  • Gen 13:1-9 : 1 Abram went up from Egypt, he, his wife, all that belonged to him, and Lot with him, toward the Negev. 2 Abram was very rich in livestock, silver, and gold. 3 He journeyed from the Negev as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai. 4 To the place of the altar he had made there at first, and Abram called on the name of the LORD there. 5 Now Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks, herds, and tents. 6 But the land could not support them while they stayed together, because their possessions were so great that they could not remain together. 7 There was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also dwelling in the land at that time. 8 So Abram said to Lot, "Let there be no conflict between you and me, or between your herdsmen and my herdsmen, for we are kin. 9 Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me. If you go to the left, I will go to the right; if you go to the right, I will go to the left." 10 Lot lifted up his eyes and saw that the entire plain of the Jordan was well watered everywhere—this was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah—like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt as you go to Zoar. 11 So Lot chose for himself the entire plain of the Jordan, and Lot journeyed eastward. Thus, they separated from each other.
