Abstract
Description
Two angels are sent by God to Sodom to find out if the city is as wicked as claimed. Lot stops them at the city gate and takes them to his home. In Qattunan, Zimri Addu, has two visiting tribesmen picked up and imprisoned. Professor Sasson delves into these two stories and draws conclusions about kings and administrators and God.
