NASB | Genesis 19:8 "Now behold, I have two daughters who have not had relations with man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them whatever you like; only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the shelter of my roof." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 19:8 "See here, I have two daughters who have not known a man [intimately]; please let me bring them out to you [instead], and you can do as you please with them; only do nothing to these men, because they have in fact come under the shelter of my roof [for protection]." |
Subject: Lot righteous? |
Bible Note: Thanks, CDBJ, but I think you've actually made me more aware of the root of my own question...what standards of "righteousness" applied in THAT day, that this offer was neither condemned, nor even mentioned, by the Angels Lot was seeking to protect? If Lot recognized them to be angels, he would have known there would be no need for him to do any protecting...so, assuming that he was unaware of their true nature, as a man of God, and apparently the only one in town, why would giving his own daughters away be his first choice of action to protect two strangers? |
