  • Catholic Concordance on Genesis 19 - 14 years ago
    If you read the Catholic Concordance the meaning of the passages regarding Lot and has daughters become clear. Incest is/was a sin, but textual examination has determined that the passages are a Hebrew inclusion made, in a derisive manner, to explain the origins of the Moabite and Ammon tribes. Both peoples were identical in appearance to the Israelites and shared the same common names, but the Israelites looked down upon the Moabites and Ammonites and wished to differentiate themselves. It would be like a wealthy, upper class Virginia family trying to explain why a trailer trash family 15 miles across the state line in West Virginia has the same last name - alcohol and incest.
