    Matthew Korpman deposited “Can Anything Good Come from Sodom? A Feminist and Narrative Critique of Lot’s Daughters in Gen. 19:30-38,” Journal for the Study of the Old Testament 43.3 (2019): 334-342. in the group Group logo of Hebrew Bible / Old TestamentHebrew Bible / Old Testament on Humanities Commons 2 years ago

    For centuries, the story of Lot’s daughters in Genesis is one which has both abhorred and intrigued countless readers. Utilizing the hermeneutical lenses of Narrative and Feminist Criticism, this paper draws attention to overlooked details in the narrative. The story is also contrasted with that of the Levite’s Concubine in Judges 19. The result of this study concludes that the narrative has been misread by past interpreters, arguing that the eldest daughter intentionally sought to deceive her younger sister for the intention of shaming their father as retribution for endangering their lives in Sodom. It proposes that the narrative of Gen. 19.30-38 is a dramatic representation by its author of divine irony and a strikingly pro-feminine text for the patriarchal society in which and to which it was written.
