And he (Lot) Dwelt in a Cave

וַיֵּשֶׁב ( לוט) בַּמְּעָרָה

Beraishit 29.30 

30.’ And Lot ascended from Zoar and he dwelt in the mountain and his two daughters with him, as he feared to dwell in Zoar, and he dwelt in a cave he and his two daughters-וַיַּעַל לוֹט מִצּוֹעַר וַיֵּשֶׁב בָּהָר וּשְׁתֵּי בְנֹתָיו עִמּוֹ כִּי יָרֵא לָשֶׁבֶת בְּצוֹעַר וַיֵּשֶׁב בַּמְּעָרָה הוּא וּשְׁתֵּי בְנֹתָיו (5564+17 words=5581=19=10=1).

The verse can be divided so:

·         And Lot ascended from Zoar and he dwelt in the mountain- וַיַּעַל לוֹט מִצּוֹעַר וַיֵּשֶׁב בָּהָר (1092+5 words =17=8);

·         And his two daughters with him, as he feared to dwell in Zoar, and he dwelt in a cave-וּשְׁתֵּי בְנֹתָיו עִמּוֹ כִּי יָרֵא לָשֶׁבֶת בְּצוֹעַר וַיֵּשֶׁב בַּמְּעָרָה (3276=18);

·         He and his two daughters- הוּא וּשְׁתֵּי בְנֹתָיו (1196 =17=8).

Rashi comments that Lot was scared to dwell there as it was close to Sodom. 

It would appear that Lot moved further away from Abraham and went to the east side of the Jordan. There are mountain ranges on both sides of the river Jordan. Lot had finally realized that he had no claim whatsoever to the Land of “Canaan” as it belonged to Abraham. On the east side of the Jordan is where the lands of Moab and Ammon were to be situated. In this portion, the east side of the River Jordan, we read of the birth of Ammon and Moab.

And Lot ascended from Zoar

וַיַּעַל לוֹט מִצּוֹעַר

This is the soul of Ruth the Moabite- רות המואביה who conceived with the righteous Boaz Oved and with him the Soul of King David and ultimately the Soul of Mashiach.

As we find in the Book of Ruth (3.7):

And he came to lie at the edge of the haystack

וַיָּבֹא לִשְׁכַּב בִּקְצֵה הָעֲרֵמָה

Haystack= Cave

Moab was conceived in a dark cave…מְּעָרָה 

Oved the son of Ruth and Boaz was conceived in light in a haystack-עֲרֵמָה. 

Hashem through His Mashiach will turn the darkness into light, as it is written (Book of Iyov 28.3):

He put an end to darkness

קֵץ שָׂם לַחֹשֶׁךְ

And he came to lie at the edge of the haystack
