The Sons-in-Law Refuse to Believe

Lot’s daughters were married, and when Lot tried to warn them about the impending destruction of the city, they didn’t take him seriously. They thought he was just joking around and made light of the situation. Instead of listening to his warning and leaving the city, they ignored him, brushing off his words as if they were nothing but nonsense. This shows how, despite the danger that Lot was trying to warn them about, they couldn’t see the seriousness of the situation and dismissed it entirely.

Genesis 19:14 says, “But his sons-in-law thought he was joking,” highlighting their disbelief and lack of concern.
