I pointed out the connections between Lot and the Exodus earlier. There are close parallels between the stories of Lot and Rahab also: They were both sinners living in wicked cities, but they believed in the God of Abraham. They both protected two men and saved some members of their own families from destruction. See Genesis 19 and Joshua 2.

Snip from my #Bible reading this morning in #psalm 113, with an application to this week's #Torah portion, #Vayeira.
[YHVH] humbles Himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth. Psa 113:6
TO HUMBLE is Strong’s H8213 שפל shaphal, a primitive root meaning, “to be or become low.” The 3-letter root is shin + pey + lamed.
shin ש = two front teeth, thus sharp, press, eat, two, again
pey פ ף = mouth, thus open, blow, scatter, edge
lamed ל = shepherd’s staff, thus teach, yoke, to, bind
The story: The pey + lamed tells of speaking (pey) to one in authority (lamed) in order to plead a case, redress wrongs, or simply to ask for an extension of undeserved mercy, as Abraham went before YHVH to plead the case for the righteous of Sodom. When someone comes before authority to make such a request, they bow themselves down to acknowledge the greater in authority, power, and status. The shin is acting as a multiplier, multiplying (shin, x2) the lowliness of the one who is bowing himself down (pey + lamed), thus indicating the lowest of the low.
YHVH humbles Himself to behold us, and He raises up the humbled (vs. 7).
