Very Strange Behavior for a Father when he offered his daughter to be raped:
Genesis 19:4. But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both old and young, all the people from every quarter. 5. And they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came in to you tonight? Bring them out to us, so we can know them.” 6. And Lot went out to them at the door and shut the door behind him 7. and said, “I pray you, brothers, do not behave so wickedly. 8. Behold now, I have two daughters who have not known a man: let me, I pray you, bring them out to you and you do to them as is good in your eyes. Only to these men do nothing, for therefore they came under the shadow of my roof.” 9. And they said, “Stand back!” And they said again, “This one came in to sojourn and he thinks he is a judge. Now we will deal worse with you than with them.”
