VERSE: Gn19-01d

RASHIS COVERED: Gn19-01d Gn19-11c Dt01-22a

=================== Gn19-01d =======================================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis goals is to make broad database queries exposing
patterns.

EXAMPLE Gn19-01d
----------------
We can make a Database query on all Biblical occurrences of
Lot and investigate his moral behavior.

We find that Lot was frequently immoral such as
- his committment of incest
- his bickering over property with Abraham
- his desire for materialism even in bad neighborhoods

But we find moral aspects of Lot such as
- his practice of hospitality
- his committment to justice

Rashi suggests that Lot learned his moral practices from
Abraham.

EXAMPLE Gn19-11c
----------------
We can make a database inquiry on how GROUPS of people
are ordered.

We find that the RESPECTFUL Order is HIGHEST to LOWEST eg
- Moses, Aaron, Priests, Elder, the people
Several examples of such orderings are presented

We however find the THE LOWEST TO HIGHEST order in
places of disrespect
- The Sedomites from KIDS TO ADULTS gathered
- The Angels punished the Sedomites from KIDS TO ADULTS

The KIDS to ADULTS order indicates actions taken without
consulting with superiors.

VERSE    (IM)MORAL? VERSE SHOWS FOLLOWING ATTRIBUTES OF LOT
======== ========== ===================================================
Gn19-33  IMMORAL    Lot committed INCEST with his daughters
Gn13-07  IMMORAL    Lot FOUGHT/BICKERED with Abraham over property
Gn13-10  IMMORAL    Lot sought MATERIALISM (even in bad neighborhoods)
-------- ---------  ---------------------------------------------------
Gn19-09  MORAL      Lot was a respected JUDGE in his city*1
Gn19-07  MORAL      Lot fought homosexual rape
Gn19-01d MORAL      Lot was HOSPITABLE*2 *10

NOTES
-----
*1 Rashi only mentions Lots HOSPITALITY. However it is proper to
   review ALL cases of LOT in the Bible. Other verses show that
   Lot was a JUDGE and fought HOMOSEXUALITY.

*2 The exact verse states
   --------------------------------------------
   Lot was sitting in the gate when the 2 men came;
   AND LOT GOT UP FOR THEM WHEN HE SAW THEM
   and INVITED THEM TO HIS HOUSE
   --------------------------------------------

*10 ---------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES -----------------------

    Rashi goes a step further. Rashi notes the contrast between
    say Lots committment of INCEST vs his HOSPITALITY.

    Rashi therefore conjectures that Lot learned HOSPITALITY
    from Abraham.

    The main point of Rashi is the database query. The conjecture
    that Lot learned hospitality from Abraham is secondary

Gn19-11c     IMPROPER                Kids and Elders of Sedom*2

NOTES
-----
*1 Contrast Dt01-22a with Dt05-20
    ------------------------------------------
    Dt05-20  Your ELDERS approached me(Moses)
    Dt01-22a YOU-------- approached me
    ------------------------------------------

    This alignment clearly shows the nuances of the
    social order style

*2 The implications here is that the KIDS=TEENAGERS instigated
   the attempted homosexual rape and the adults tagged along
   without protest.*10

------------------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES ------------------

*10 Rashi wryly notes that when the angels punished them
    he punished the KIDS 1st and ADULTS 2nd.
