1 | How many daughters did Lot have? | Gen 19:14 | inHzsvc | 5242 | ||
How many daughters did Lot have? I had never considered this question until recently when a close brother asked me. I had always just assumed, as do most folks, that he had two. However, in Genesis 19:8, Lot offers his two virgin daughters to the perverted homosexual men of the city. Then, in verse 14, it is said that Lot had two married daughters. And again, in verse 15, when he is summoned to leave, it speaks of his two daughters, "which are here." So, does anybody have any insight as to how many daughters Lot had? |

2 | How many daughters did Lot have? | Gen 19:14 | Morant61 | 5243 | ||
Greetings, I believe Lot only had two daughters. In Jewish culture, you were considered married if you were bethrothed. Remember the case of Mary and Joseph! So the virgin daughers of Gen. 19:8 are the same 'married or bethrothed' daughers of Gen. 19:14. The fiances did not believe Lot and were left behind. The NIV actually translates Gen. 19:14 as "pledged to marry." I hope this helps. Tim Moran |

3 | How many daughters did Lot have? | Gen 19:14 | inHzsvc | 5298 | ||
Tim, I had considered this possibility. It is interesting, however, that many Jewish scholars believe he had two daughters who perished in Sodom. By the way, the NIV and NASB don't rely on the received text. So, you must take them with a grain of salt. God bless. |
