2 | Incest? | Gen 19:30 | He-man | 138317 | ||
The last scene preserved to us in the history of Lot is too well known to need repetition. He was still living in Sodom, Gen.19, from which he was rescued by some angels on the day of its final overthrow. He fled first to Zoar, in which he found a temporary refuge during the destruction of the other cities of the plain. Where this place was situated is not known with certainty. [Zoar.] The end of Lot’s wife is commonly treated as one of the difficulties of the Bible; but it surely need not be so. It cannot be necessary to create the details of the story where none are given. On these points the record is silent. The value and the significance of the story to us are contained in the allusion of Christ. Luke 17:32. Later ages have not been satisfied so to leave the matter, but have insisted on identifying the “pillar” with some one of the fleeting forms which the perishable rock of the south end of the Dead Sea is constantly assuming in its process of decomposition and liquefaction. From the incestuous intercourse between Lot and his two daughters sprang the nations of Moab and Ammon. Moab was the settled and civilized half of the nation of Lot, and Ammon formed its predatory and Bedouin section. On the west of Jordan they never obtained a footing. The hatred in which the Ammonites were held by Israel is stated to have arisen partly from their denial of assistance, Deut. 23:4, to the Israelites on their approach to Canaan. But whatever its origin, the animosity continued in force to the latest date. The tribe was governed by a king, Judges 11:12, etc.; 1 Sam. 12:12; 2 Sam. 10:1; Jer. 40:14, and by “princes.” 2 Sam. 10:3; 1 Chron. 19:3. The divinity of the tribe was Molech [Molech], and they were gross idolaters Mo´ab (of his father), Mo´abites. Moab was the son of Lot’s eldest daughter, the progenitor of the Moabites. Zoar was the cradle of the race of Lot. From this centre the brother tribes spread themselves. The Moabites first inhabited the rich highlands which crown the eastern side of the chasm of the Dead Sea, extending as far north as the mountain of Gilead, from which country they expelled the Emims, the original inhabitants, Deut. 2:11; but they themselves were afterward driven southward by the warlike Amorites, who had crossed the Jordan, and were confined to the country south of the river rnon, which formed their northern boundary. Num. 21:13; Judges 11:18. The territory occupied by Moab at the period of its greatest extent, before the invasion of the Amorites, divided itself naturally into three distinct and independent portions:—(1) The enclosed corner or canton south of the Arnon was the “field of Moab.” Ruth 1:1, 2, 6, etc. Isaiah, chs. 15, 16, 25:10-12, predicts the utter annihilation of the Moabites; and they are frequently denounced by the subsequent prophets. For the religion of the Moabites see Chemosh; Molech; Peor. See also Tristram’s “Land of Moab.” Present condition.—(Nöldeke says that the extinction of the Moabites was about a.d. 200, at the time when the Yemen tribes Galib and Gassara entered the eastern districts of the Jordan. Since a.d. 536 the last trace of the name Moab, which lingered in the town of Kir-moab, has given place to Kerak, its modern name. Over the whole region are scattered many ruins of ancient cities; and while the country is almost bare of larger vegetation, it is still a rich pasture-ground, with occasional fields of grain. The land thus gives evidence of its former wealth and power.— William Smith; revised and edited by F.N. and M.A. Peloubet, Smith’s Bible dictionary, electronic ed., Logos Library System, (Nashville: Thomas Nelson) 1997. |
