13:10 What appealed to Lot would be short-lived. In the garden of the Lord, Adam and Eve succumbed to their craving for what they saw; Israel was later enslaved in Egypt. Sodom and Gomorrah are reminders of putting intense desires ahead of obedience to God (3:5-6; see 1 Jn 2:16). • Zoar was a small town in the plain to which Lot and his daughters later fled (19:18-22); it was previously called Bela (14:2).
