Lot and His Daughters (GEN 19:30-38)

[19:30] Now Lot went up out of Zoar and lived in the hills with his two daughters, for he was afraid to live in Zoar. So he lived in a cave with his two daughters.

[19:31] And the firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth.

[19:32] Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father.”

[19:33] So they made their father drink wine that night. And the firstborn went in and lay with her father. He did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

[19:34] The next day, the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine tonight also. Then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father.”

[19:35] So they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose and lay with him, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

[19:36] Thus both the daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father.

[19:37] The firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.

[19:38] The younger also bore a son and called his name Ben-Ammi. He is the father of the Ammonites to this day.
