Word of the Day - 11/18/2008

Contiguity

Continguity is the state of being contiguous; contact or proximity.

Each time's Lot's location is reported in the book of Genesis, his contiguity to the gate Sodom's is closer. (Genesis 13:12, Genesis 14:12, Genesis 19:1)

Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening as Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. (Genesis 19:1, NAS)

Note: This image is of Lot parting ways with his uncle Abram (later Abraham). It was from this moment that lot inched closer and closer to Sodom.
