Lot (/lɒt/; Hebrew: לוֹט Lōṭ, lit. "veil" or "covering"; Greek: Λώτ Lṓt; Arabic: لُوط Lūṭ; Syriac: ܠܘܛ Lōṭ) was a notable figure mentioned in the biblical Book of Genesis, chapters 11–14 and 19 and other scriptures. Important events in his life recorded in Genesis include his journey with his uncle Abraham; his flight from the annihilation of Sodom and Gomorrah, during which his wife became a pillar of salt. He is regarded as the parental ancestor of Ammonites and Moabites, the enemies of Israelites.
