The Lives Of Lot And Abraham: Compare/Contrast
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Although Lot was Abraham's nephew, the fact that the two were family did not preclude them from experiencing considerable differences along with their familial similarities. It was Lot who accompanied Abraham on his journey up from Egypt, bringing along all the possessions the two families had between them. The fact that Abraham and Lot's father, who was the family patriarch, were brothers would have one believe that there existed a significant loyalty between them but this assumption did not reflect the truth. The writer compares and contrasts the lives of Lot and Abraham. Bibliography lists 1 source.
