154.  Lot (Haran, Terah, Nahor, Serug, Reu, Peleg, Eber, Salah, Arphaxad, Shem, Noah, ...) was born in 1954 BC in Ur of the Chaldees, and died in 1814 BC.  He married (1) Ado Ω.  She died in 1854 BC near Zoar.  He had a relationship with (2) First Born, daughter of Lot and Ado.  He had a relationship with (3) The Younger, daughter of Lot and Ado.

 

Notes for Lot:

His name in Hebrew is: טול Lôwt (lote) Strongs #3876.  In Greek: Λώτ Lōt, (lote) Strongs #3091.

Basing on Jasher 24:22, Lot was one year older than his half-uncle, Abraham.

And Lot the son of Haran also died in those days, in the thirty-ninth year of the life of Isaac, and all the days that Lot lived were one hundred and forty years and he died.  (1)

If Lot is one year older than Abraham, then he would be eleven years older than his sister Sarah, but his father Haran married when he was 39.  However, according to calculations, Lot was born when Haran was 31, eight years before he had married.

And Haran, the son Terah, Abram's oldest brother, took a wife in those days.  Haran was thirty-nine when he took her; and then wife of Haran conceived and bare a son, and he called his name Lot.  (2)

Jasher 24:22 looks contradictory to Jasher 9:2, but if Abraham was one hundred when his son Isaac was born, and Lot died when Isaac 39, then Abraham would have been 139 when Lot died at the age of 140.  Therefore, Lot would have been 101 when his half-cousin, Isaac was born.

Lot was fifty-one, when his father died in Nimrod's furnace, (3) and was fifty-three when he finally left Ur of the Chaldees with his half-uncle, Abram.  (4)

Lot lived in Haran with his Half-uncle, Abram for over twenty years until the age of 76 and then went with Abram to the plains of Mamre.  (5)

When there was a famine in Canaan, Lot went with Abram and Sarai to Egypt, but he wasn't able to stay very long in Egypt because of the way that Abram wanted his wife (Lot's sister) introduced.  (6)

Lot had a heavy abundance of cattle and sheep as well as Abram.  Lot let his flocks feed on other people's property, whereas Abram's flocks remained on his own property.  When the people of the land complained to Abram, Abram quarreled with Lot to have him end his practices of grazing his animals on other people's pastures.  However, Lot would not listen to his half-uncle.

Finally, Abram told Lot that he must move to some other place, but their friendship would not be broken.  Therefore, Lot traveled toward the plain of Jordan and dwelt in Sodom.  (7)

Lot was 79 when Chedorlaomer, King of Elam came to smite Sodom with three other kings, in which Nimrod, King of Shinar was one of them.  Chedorlaomer fought the five kings of Sodom and Gomorrah in the valley of Siddim (or the Salt Sea).  However, the battle was sore against the Sodomites, so they fled to the mountains for safety.  Chedorlaomer pursued the Sodomites to the gates of the city and then plundered the city.

Chedorlaomer took captive Lot along with all his goods.  However, Abram's servant Unic was in the battle at the time and told Abram about Lot.  Therefore, Abram came with 318 men and smote the army of the four kings of Elam so that the kings were the only ones left.

Abram recovered the property of Sodom and Lot's property so that there wasn't anything lacking.  Then, Lot returned to Sodom, and Abram returned to Mamre.  (8)

Lot was 100 when his daughter, Paltith was killed by the Sodomites for helping a poor man.  At this time, Lot was visited by two angels, who had just been to Abraham's house.  Lot was at the gates of Sodom that evening, invited the angels to his house, and gave his hospitality to them.  The angels told Lot that he should leave Sodom before Yahvah destroyed the city.  In which Lot did that night.  When Lot had left the city and arrived in Zoar, Yahvah rained on the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire, at which Lot's wife, Ado looked back to see the destruction of the city and became a pillar of salt.

Lot and his remaining daughters fled to the cave of Adullam and dwelt there for a while.  (9)

Lot was soon made drunk by his daughters and then Lot found out that he was a father and a grandfather to Moab and Ben-ammi.  (10)

It is possible that Lot had five daughters, but two of Lot's daughter remained in Sodom with their husbands.  (11)

 

 

Notes for Ado:

Her name is only mentioned in Jasher 19:52.  It is unknown to when Lot married Ado, but it is thought that she had five daughters (or perhaps more).  However, some of her daughters remained in Sodom with their Sodomite husbands while Ado, her husband and two other daughters left for the city for Zoar.  When she and her family reached Zoar, Yahvah began to rain on Sodom and Gomorrah fire and brimstone.  Therefore, Ado turned back to look at the destruction of the cities from Zoar grieving for her daughters that remained behind, and as she did so, she became a pillar of salt.  (12)

Burial:  Was not buried.

Cause of Death: Salted

 

 

Notes for First Born:

Her real name is not known and is only known in Genesis and Jasher as "First Born," even Jubilees won't mention her name.

She and her younger sisters were raised in the city of Sodom and believed the city to be their whole world.

Yahvah sent two angels to bring her family from Sodom since it was soon to be destroyed.  (13)

Lot, her father invited the two angels into the house, but the inhabitants of Sodom wanted the two angels brought out so that they can "know them."  Lot didn't want any harm to happen to his guests, so he offered her and her sister to the Sodomites.  Fortunately, the Sodomites didn't want anything to do with the girls but threatened her father.

After the angel-guests had blinded the Sodomites, Lot was instructed to leave the city with his family, at which he did.

The girls left from Sodom to Zoar, and when they had entered the city of Zoar, Sodom was destroyed.  (14)

After the death of their mother, Ado, Lot and his remaining family went up into the cave of Adullam for fear that Zoar would be destroyed as well.  (15)

The First Born believed that the whole world was destroyed and there wouldn't be any man on the earth to repopulate it.  Her father was the only known man, so she and her sister performed the most ghastly sin of incest.  (16)

Possibly because of this sin, her name is not used in the Bible, Jasher or Jubilees.

 

 

Notes for The Younger:

Her real name is not known and is only known in Genesis and Jasher as "The Younger," even Jubilees won't mention her name.

She and her sisters were raised in the city of Sodom and believed the city to be their whole world.

Yahvah sent two angels to bring her family from Sodom since it was soon to be destroyed.  (17)

Lot, her father invited the two angels into the house, but the inhabitants of Sodom wanted the two angels brought out so that they can "know them."  Lot didn't want any harm to happen to his guests, so he offered her and her sister to the Sodomites.  Fortunately, the Sodomites didn't want anything to do with the girls but threatened her father.

The First Born believed that the whole world was destroyed and there wouldn't be any man upon the earth to repopulate it, so she instructed The Younger to do the most ghastly sin of incest.  (20)

Possibly because of this sin, her name is not used in the Bible, Jasher or Jubilees.

 

 

Children of Lot and Ado are:

Ω 177.  First Born.

Ω 178.  The Younger.

Ω 179.  Paltith, born 1893 BC in Sodom; died in 1854 BC in Sodom.

 

Notes for Paltith:

She is only mentioned in Jasher and no place else.

She was born after the battle that the kings of Elam had against the kings of Sodom, and Lot was delivered from it with the help of Abraham his half-uncle. (21)

Paltith married a man of Sodom, but had no known offspring.  (22)

Being compassionate got her into trouble with the citizens of Sodom since they liked to torture any travelers or poor people that should come into their city.  Paltith found a poor man in the streets who was starving since a Sodomite proclamation was issued that no food was to be given to the poor man.  The Sodomites wanted the poor man to die so that they could take possession of his clothing and anything else that the man had in his possession.  (23)

The poor man was on brink of death from starvation, so Paltith secretly hid bread in her water pitcher and brought nourishment to the man and she did this for many days. (24)

When the Sodomites took notice that the man was not changing in appearance to the starvation, they put spies in the area where the poor man was and caught Paltith in the act of feeding the poor man.  Paltith was seized along with the bread that was in the poor man's hand, and she was brought to the judges and sentence to death by burning.  (25) She died at the age of 39.
