This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the biblical figure Lot, emphasizing his role and significance within the scriptural narrative.

Usage: The name Λώτ appears in the New Testament as a reference to the Old Testament figure Lot, the nephew of Abraham.

Context: Λώτ (Lot) is a significant biblical figure known primarily from the Old Testament narrative found in the Book of Genesis. Lot was the son of Haran and the nephew of Abraham. He is most notably remembered for his association with the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and his subsequent escape from their destruction.

Lot's story begins when he accompanies his uncle Abraham from Ur of the Chaldeans to the land of Canaan. As both Lot and Abraham prospered, their herdsmen quarreled over grazing land, leading to Abraham's proposal for separation to maintain peace. Lot chose the fertile plains of the Jordan Valley, settling near the city of Sodom (Genesis 13:10-12).

The New Testament references Lot in the context of moral and spiritual lessons. In Luke 17:28-29, Jesus uses the days of Lot as a warning of sudden judgment, paralleling it with the coming of the Son of Man. Similarly, 2 Peter 2:7-8 describes Lot as a righteous man distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless in Sodom, highlighting his moral struggle and God's deliverance of him from destruction.

Lot's narrative serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of choosing material prosperity over spiritual integrity and the consequences of living in a morally corrupt environment. His story underscores themes of divine judgment, mercy, and the importance of righteous living.
