Lot and His Daughters by Artemisia Gentileschi, c. 1635-38. The daughters of the biblical patriarch Lot appear in chapter 19 of the Book of Genesis, in two connected stories. In the first, Lot offers his daughters to a Sodomite mob; in the second, his daughters have sex with Lot without his knowledge to bear him children.
However, the men of the city gathered around Lot's house and demanded that he give them the two guests so that they could rape them. In response to this, Lot offers the mob his two virgin daughters instead. The mob refuses Lot's offer, but the angels strike them with blindness, God eventually destroys the city, and Lot and his family escape.
Some [who?] have argued that Lot's behavior in offering of his daughters to the men of Sodom in Genesis 19:8 constitutes sexual abuse of his daughters, which created a confusion of kinship roles that was ultimately played out through the incestuous acts in Genesis 19:30–38.

Lot's wife (center) turned into a pillar of salt during Sodom's destruction (Nuremberg Chronicle, 1493). The story appears to be based in part on a folk legend explaining a geographic feature. [3] A pillar of salt named "Lot's wife" is located near the Dead Sea at Mount Sodom in Israel. [4]

Mount Sodom, Israel, showing a pillar referred to as "Lot's Wife", made of halite. Noah cursed Canaan to be a servant to his brother's servants and a servant to his fathers brothers. (see Curse of Ham) Lot's wife "became a pillar of salt" when she "looked back" when fleeing Sodom and Gomorrah's destruction. [8]
