Genesis 13
You'll find the text here. My notes to myself follow.
- Couple of mentions of Sodom and Gomorrah so far, though we're not up to the account of their destruction. That suggests their fate was well-known, even proverbial, so the text needs to explain this was before all that.
- It's so odd to constantly encounter modern place names, such as Hebron. It reminds you that this legendary-seeming world has a very real setting.
- A cheeky fellow on talk.bizarre claimed he had committed the sin of Gomorrahy, but IIRC wouldn't go into details.
- Mondy, something extremely interesting which you mentioned - the idea that this is *not* what it looks like, a history of the world. If you're still reading, I'd love to hear more about that!
