Show BIBLE QUOTATIONS BY C. V. HANSEN Abraham arose early in the morning, morn-ing, and got out and looked over toward Sodom and Gomorah, and all the land of the plain, and beheld, be-held, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace, from the burning of these wicked cities. Lot did not stay long in Zora, but left this city and retired with his two daughters to a cave in the adjacent ad-jacent mountain. Conceiving that all mankind was destroyed, and that the world would end, unless they provided new inhabitants for it, they made their father drink wine and then lay by him without him perceiving it; they both conceived. Thus, a son was born to each of them. The son of the oldest daughter daugh-ter was called Moab, and is the progenitors of the Moabites. They first inhabited the rich highlands which crown the eastern side the chasm of the Dead sea. The other sons name was Ben Ammi, and became be-came the father of the Ammonites. Gen. 19:27-38. o |
