Articles

  • See R. Raymond Harari's article, Avraham's Nephew Lot: A Biblical Portrait, for a comparison of he two figures. R. Harari concludes that though Lot did not outright reject Avraham's values, he made them subservient to his own materialistic goals. Ultimately his inability to fully commit to Avraham's vision led to his defeat.
  • Rav Elchanan Samet's article, בין אברהם ללוט, further compares the stories.

Sedom and Egypt

There are numerous parallels between the stories of the destruction of Sedom and of divine retribution against Egypt at the time of the Exodus.
