ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK



◁



Two angels in disguise came to town and Lot invited them to stay. The people of the town demanded that Lot sent out his guest so that they could have their pleasure with them. Lot defended their honour as their host. In order to satiate the towns peoples lust he pushed out his daughters instead. The next day the cities of Sodom and Gomorra was destroyed because of the sinful behaviour of its inhabitants, only Lot and his family were spared as they were considered virtuous.
