Lot is the proper name of Abraham's nephew, son of Haran, who accompanied his uncle from Ur to Canaan. His 33 occurrences concentrate in Genesis 11-19, tracing an arc from family solidarity to catastrophic separation. When the herdsmen of Abraham and Lot quarreled, Lot chose the well-watered Jordan plain 'like the garden of YHWH' — a fateful decision that placed him in Sodom (Gen 13:10-12). He was captured in the battle of the four kings and rescued by Abraham (Gen 14:12-16), then dramatically delivered from Sodom's destruction while his wife looked back and became a pillar of salt (Gen 19:1-26). His daughters' desperate act in the cave produced Moab and Ben-Ammi, ancestors of Israel's eastern neighbors (Gen 19:30-38). Deuteronomy references 'the sons of Lot' as Moabites and Ammonites whose territory Israel must not seize (Deut 2:9, 19). Psalm 83:9 names Lot's descendants among hostile nations.
