* ''"And Lot journeyed east":'' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashi Rashi] suggests that the phrase "journeyed east" (''[http://bible1.crosswalk.com/Lexicons/Hebrew/heb.cgi?number=05265&version=kjv naca']'' and ''[http://bible1.crosswalk.com/Lexicons/Hebrew/heb.cgi?number=06924&version=kjv qedem]'') is a play on words, also meaning "departed the first" implying a departure from God.  According to the Midrash, Lot did not like the moral prohibition against stealing that Abraham believed in, so Lot "pitched his tent toward Sodom", heading toward Sodom both literally and morally, knowing that it was a wicked place. (See Leibowitz reference below; see also [[Gen 13:5|Gen 13:5-6]].)
