sodom
jay michaelson proposes a reading of the story of sodom that emphasizes the violation of hospitality as well as the violence of the sodomites. "homosexual rape is the way in which they violate hospitality—not the essence of their transgression. reading the story of sodom as being about homosexuality is like reading the story of an ax murderer as being about an ax." michaelson places the story of sodom in context with other genesis stories regarding abraham's hospitality to strangers, and argues that when other texts in the hebrew bible mention sodom, they do so without commentary on homosexuality. the verses cited by michaelson include jeremiah 23:14, where the sins of jerusalem are compared to sodom and are listed as adultery, lying, and strengthening the hands of evildoers; amos 4:1–11 (oppressing the poor and crushing the needy); and ezekiel 16:49–50, which defines the sins of sodom as "pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. and they were haughty, and did "toevah" before me, and i took them away as i saw fit." michaelson uses "toevah" in place of "abomination" to emphasize the original hebrew, which he explains as being more correctly translated as "taboo".
