Next we have the two visitors (angels) that visited Abraham then they go to visit Lot in Sodom... So this story is a little bit more about Lot than Abraham.
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both young and old, all the people from every quarter; 5 and they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men that came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. 6 And Lot went out unto them to the door, and shut the door after him. 7 And he said, I pray you, my brethren, do not so wickedly. 8 Behold now I have two daughters that have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing, for as much as they are come under the shadow of my roof.
Really? You give up your two virgin daughters who are probably in their early teens to the men surrounding your house. I this really something you are suppose to do when two angels come to visit and the your neighbors decide to surround your house? Offer your two daughters to them? Wow definately a "what NOT to do" situation here. Because the angels eventually pull Lot back in the house and "smote" all the men around the house and this blinds them all.
11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
In other words, those two angels needed no help.
Next we will continue in Chapter 19 with the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the subsequent incest that goes on between Lot and his two daughters... *gross*.
