Daughter of Lot - Older

Female · 4 cross references

This entry refers to Lot's older daughter, remembered in the aftermath of Sodom's destruction and as the mother of Moab. Her story belongs to one of Genesis' most morally troubled family episodes. First appears in Gen 19:31.1

AI summary: Lot's older daughter matters because the cross references place her at the center of the plan that leads to the birth of Moab after the catastrophe of Sodom. The narrative does not celebrate the act; it presents the fractured moral world that survives judgment and gives rise to neighboring peoples through compromised beginnings. Her significance is therefore tragic and historical. Taken together, the material presents the older daughter of Lot as a troubled origin figure in the ancestry of Moab.1
