Since Lot represents the first son, the expected pattern for the first-son/second-son theme is that he will be earthly rather than spiritual. There are two hints to this: the literal, and a riddle.
Literally, Loy Lot chose the land that was green and pleasing to the eye <ref>[[Ge 13:10]] ΒΆ And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it [was] well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, [even] as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.</ref> Lot exhibits signs of the lust of the eyes.
Consider the riddle which uses other symbols. Abraham introduces the left and right hand imagery, though we don't have any reason to believe that he understood it. He suggests that one go left and one go right. <ref>[[Ge 13:9]] [Is] not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if [thou wilt take] the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if [thou depart] to the right hand, then I will go to the left.</ref> Recall how Jesus uses the left and the right with the goats and the sheep. <ref>[[Mt 25:33]] And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.</ref>
Did Lot go right or left? Is there sufficient information for us to know? It tells us that Abram had been travelling South <ref>[[Ge 13:3]] And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;</ref> and then Lot went East. <ref>[[Ge 13:11]] Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.</ref> He made a left turn. He chose the path of the goat/flesh.
