LEV846 … while Abraham possessed kindness, Lot misused the quality of kindness and offered the people of Sodom the opportunity to rape his daughter (Gen. 19:8). Too much kindness can also result in an abomination, especially in the area of sexuality. Thus, one of the forbidden sexual relationships is called an abomination in the Torah, using the same word chesed, kindness, to express this abomination [this verse]. By using the same word for both kindness and abomination, the Torah is indicating that too much kindness, especially in the area of sexuality, can become an abomination.
