Commentary for Genesis 19:36
Genesis 19:36 is part of the narrative concerning the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, two cities infamous for their wickedness. Lot, the nephew of Abraham, lived in Sodom with his family. As angels were sent to destroy the cities, they instructed Lot and his family to flee without looking back. Lot's wife disobeyed and was turned into a pillar of salt. Lot and his two daughters escaped to the city of Zoar and later, fearing the dwindling population and lack of potential husbands, Lot's daughters intoxicated their father and committed incest with him, each becoming pregnant.
Themes:
1. Judgment and Divine Retribution: The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah serves as a stark example of God's judgment against profound moral corruption.
2. The Consequences of Sin: The actions of Lot's daughters, driven by desperation, illustrate the severe consequences that can arise from sinful choices.
3. Protection of the Righteous: Despite the sinful environment, God protects the righteous, as seen in the rescue of Lot and his family.
4. The Cycle of Sin: The incestuous acts perpetuate a cycle of sin, reflecting the broader theme of generational sin within the Bible.
Historical Context:
The story is set within the context of the patriarchal narratives, where the early history of the Israelite people is recounted. It reflects the ancient cultural norms and the patriarchal society's concerns about lineage and continuity. The incident also highlights the moral depravity that can emerge in a society that has abandoned ethical norms, as well as the potential for individuals to succumb to similar moral failures in times of crisis. This passage would have served as a cautionary tale to the Israelites, emphasizing the importance of maintaining moral purity and adhering to God's laws.
