Lot and his daughters

Students

30 Then Lot went up from Zoar with his two daughters and lived in a cave on the heights, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. 31 The older daughter said to the younger, ‘Our father is old, and there is no one on the earth to come in to us after the manner of all the world. 32 Come let us make our father drink wine and we will lie with him, so that we can preserve our family through our father.’ 33 So they made their father drink wine that night; and the older daughter went in and lay with her father. He, however, did not know when she lay down, nor when she arose. 34 Then in the morning the older daughter said to the younger, ‘Last night I lay with my father. Let us make him drink wine again tonight; and you go in and lie with him, so that we can preserve our family through our father.’ 35 So they made their father drink wine that night as well. The younger arose and lay with him. He, however, did not know when she lay down nor when she arose. 36 In this way both the daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father. 37 Then Lot went up from Zoar with his two daughters and lived in a cave on the heights, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. His oldest daughter bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the present Moabites. 38 The younger also bore a son and named him Ben-ammi. That one is the father of the present Ammonites.
