Lot had multiple daughters how do we know the two here are ones who lost their husbands ? Maybe he took the two virgins he had been ready to throw to the mob and can you imagine the mindset of young women who had to be in fear of that ?
As a woman I have always hated this passage because it demonstrated how women in the Bible were considered worthless. I don’t think Lot can be a good guy and still think it was ok to throw two young virgins to a mob. God did not allow that to happen so maybe he looked out for them.
I was listening to this last night and like you this has always bothered me a lot! Why would a dad throw his daughters to the wolves to be ravaged to spare the two visitors? He could have said no period, or maybe offered himself as the sacrifice! I was hoping Naomi would comment on this bizarre situation.
