Genesis, chapter 11 tells us that Lot was the grandson of Terah. Terah was also the father of Abram (Abraham). This would make Lot Abraham's nephew.
Lot accompanied Abraham and Sarah to Canaan. It was Lot who moved to Sodom and it was Lot's wife who was turned into a piller of salt because she looked back at Sodom as God was destroying that city.
Lot and two of his daughters fled Sodom and was living in a cave. The daughters fearing their family would become extinct got their father, Lot, drunk with wine and each had a child by him. One child was the progenitor of the Moabites, and the other son was the progenitor of the Ammonites.
