just because sorcey is not mentioned, does not mean that drug rape and sorcery and seven women taking a man's child without his name, is not all connected.

Biblical sorcery is very simple: getting others to do what you want them to do. The means are not as important to the sorcerer as the end. What IS important to the sorcerer, is that the sorcerer gets their own way, with as little effort as possible.
Do these two passages concern someone trying to get their way? You betcha!

Genesis 19:5 is speaking about the sin of sodomy. No sorcery is mentioned.

No mention of sorcery here, either. Are you sure you have the right verses?

Genesis 19: 33 - 38 states:

So they kept giving their father wine to drink during that night; then the firstborn went in and lay down with her father, but he did not know when she lay down and when she got up.  And it came about on the next day that the firstborn then said to the younger: “Here I lay down with my father last night. Let us give him wine to drink tonight also. Then you go in, lie down with him, and let us preserve offspring from our father.” So they repeatedly gave their father wine to drink during that night also; then the younger got up and lay down with him, but he did not know when she lay down and when she got up. And both the daughters of Lot became pregnant from their father. In time the firstborn became mother to a son and called his name Mo′ab. He is the father of Mo′ab, to this day. As for the younger, she too gave birth to a son and then called his name Ben-am′mi. He is the father of the sons of Am′mon, to this day.

The daughters got their father drunk and when he was not aware, they had sex with him and bore children. That is called trickery, fornication and adultery by the daughters.

Isaiah 14:1 does not speak of sorcery (verses 1 and 2):

For Jehovah will show mercy to Jacob, and he is yet certain to choose Israel; and he will actually give them rest upon their soil, and the alien resident must be joined to them, and they must attach themselves to the house of Jacob. And peoples will actually take them and bring them to their own place, and the house of Israel must take them to themselves as a possession upon the soil of Jehovah as menservants and as maidservants; and they must become the captors of those holding them captive, and they must have in subjection those who were driving them to work.
--------------------------

Sorcery and Magic are spoken of in Deuteronomy and Leviticus:

Leviticus 19: 26
-----------------------
‘YOU must eat nothing along with blood. YOU must not look for omens, and YOU must not practice magic".

Deuteronomy 18: 10 -12
-----------------------
There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, anyone who employs divination, a practicer of magic or anyone who looks for omens or a sorcerer, or one who binds others with a spell or anyone who consults a spirit medium or a professional foreteller of events or anyone who inquires of the dead. For everybody doing these things is something detestable to Jehovah, and on account of these detestable things Jehovah your God is driving them away from before you.

Hope this has helped.

No it is speaking simply of iniquity.
