📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative, Lot, Abraham's nephew, lived in the wicked city of Sodom, which was known for its moral corruption and was on the brink of divine judgment. When two angels, appearing as ordinary men, arrived in the city, Lot insisted they stay at his house as an act of ancient Near Eastern hospitality, a cultural practice that valued protecting and welcoming travelers. He then prepared a simple feast for them, including unleavened bread, which was a common, quickly made food in that era.
