Lot, the nephew of Abraham, sets out on a journey with his family and followers, seeking a new land to settle in. As they travel through the vast, arid desert, the scorching sun beats down on them, and the endless expanse of sand and rocky terrain makes their journey arduous. Their animals grow weary, and their provisions begin to run low, but they press on, driven by the hope of finding a place to call home.

After days of difficult travel, they finally approach a breathtaking sight—the lush and fertile valley where the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah stand. The stark contrast between the barren wilderness they have endured and the green, well-watered land ahead is striking. The valley is full of life, with flowing rivers, abundant vegetation, and thriving settlements. It seems like an oasis of prosperity in the midst of the harsh desert, a place where they might find rest and security.

This moment is reminiscent of the passage in Genesis 13:10 (NIV):

“Lot looked around and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan toward Zoar was well watered, like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt. This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.”

Lot sees the beauty and abundance of the land and chooses to settle there, unaware of the fate that awaits these cities.
