Lev 19:29
29 “‘Do not profane your daughter by making her a prostitute, in order that the land may not commit prostitution and the land actually be filled with loose morals.
Gen 19:6-8
6 Finally Lot went out to them to the entrance, but he shut the door behind him. 7 Then he said: “Please, my brothers, do not act badly. 8 Please, here I have two daughters who have never had intercourse with a man. Please, let me bring them out to YOU. Then do to them as is good in YOUR eyes
I guess that it was ok because he didn't charge them any money?
Didn't Lot, the righteous man do that before the Mosaic Law was written? That makes is OK, Right????
If you read Gen 19 in it's coded form, you get an entirely different story. Genesis is a very strange book, a few of the OT books are very different then all the others.
What is it's coded form?
The story of Lot and his daughters always irritated me. He offers to release them into a guaranteed gang-rape situation in Sodom, his wife turns back and gets turned to salt for no compelling reason, which then provides a not-so-clever segue into how he impregnates his own daughters. If a wife were so desirable, why didn't he hit up Abraham and have him import one from Mesopotamia like he did for Isaac? Looks like a cover-up for a filthy and disgusting man. My guess is that the incest legend wouldn't die and the Genesis writer needed to find a way to explain it to the masses.
