Sodom & Gomorrah

Always, forgiven dear brother. You did not offend me, just saying! 😉  our time is too short for that... wanted to give credit to who it belongs and that wasn’t me. :wacko:   :prayer-hands:

:mdrmdr:     Don’t forget the wall to wall carpeting of Persian rugs since Lot was also from UR. 😉   Surely though they moved uptown to city man cave mansions  with a front wooden door and padlocks since Mrs. Lot needed a walk-in closet  just for her sandal collection. :yes:  I’m sure they had a wine cellar too.  A mega barn was probably built to house all their cattle ... or did they wing it like Noah and kept their cattle indoors with them ...  living the good life ... can you picture it ... cows, goats and hens living in their kitchen giving them fresh milk and eggs daily ... no need for a refrigerator at all ... B-)

"... and pitched his tent toward Sodom."  Imagine a 7,000 square foot tent with six bedrooms, four pot chambers, family room, master suite, maids' quarters, food prep, woolen gazebo out back with firepit, ...  Like you said, it might be really hard to leave that, Geri. :yes: :whistle: :wacko: :scratch:

Oh ... here is another scenario as to “why” Mrs. Lot probably turned her head ... in Genesis 13:1-12 it shows Lot was filthy rich just like Abraham with all their cattle, silver, gold, etc.  So chances are they had a mansion inside of Sodom and Mrs. Lot resented leaving her comfortable place of easy living and was probably mad she couldn’t pack and take all of her treasures with her ...

Genesis 13:1-12
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.

2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

3 And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;

4 Unto the place of the altar, which he had make there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the Lord.

5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.

7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.

8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.

9 Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.

10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.

11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.

12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.

My bad, forgive me Sis!
