• Genesis 19 (further images / scripture text)

Description: As Sodom and Gomorrah burn and angels turn Lot's wife to stone, Lot's daughters get him drunk so they could lay with him and have children. The monogram of the artist or engraver (LG), along with an engraver’s knife, has been placed at the bottom right of the woodcut. The panel to the left depicts Jacob wrestling with the angel of God, while that on the right shows Jacob buying Esau’s birthright for a bowl of stew.
