“The Cause of Moabites and Ammonites Dispute – Secret Revealed”

Lot’s Daughters: Midrash and Aggadah: Jewish women’s archive… “in brief: The midrashic analysis of Lot’s daughters largely focuses on why they become impregnated by Lot, and what the effects of this deed are. In opposition to the biblical portrayal, the Rabbis turn the blame on Lot for this incestuous action. They argue that Lot exhibits selfish and harmful behavior throughout his life; one midrash argues that the daughters’ relations with their father are punishment for his choices, while another says that he secretly desired his daughters. The sympathetic midrashic analysis of the daughters seems to be due to the ancestral connection between the daughters and Ruth.”

Midrash (/ˈmɪdrɑːʃ/;Hebrew: מִדְרָשׁ; pl. מִדְרָשִׁים midrashim or מִדְרָשׁוֹת‎ midrashot) is expansive Jewish Biblical exegesiu sing a rabbinic mode of interpretation prominent in the Talmud. The word itself means “textual interpretation”, “study”, or “exegesis“, derived from the root verb darash (דָּרַשׁ‎), which means “resort to, seek, seek with care, enquire, require”, forms of which appear frequently in the Hebrew Bible.

Who Were the Ammonites, Moabites and Edomites in the Bible?: Biblical archeology… “Ammonites are described as being descendants of Ben-ammi, who was the son of Lot (Abraham’s nephew) and Lot’s younger daughter (Genesis 19:38)”… “Moabites are said to have descended from Moab, the son of Lot and his oldest daughter (Genesis 19:37).” … “Edomites are the descendants of Esau, Jacob’s twin and Isaac’s oldest son (Genesis 36).”
