Genesis 19:30-38

Living Bible

³⁰ Afterwards Lot left Zoar, fearful of the people there, and went to live in a cave in the mountains with his two daughters. ³¹ One day the older girl said to her sister, “There isn’t a man anywhere in this entire area that our father would let us marry. And our father will soon be too old for having children. ³² Come, let’s fill him with wine and then we will sleep with him, so that our clan will not come to an end.” ³³ So they got him drunk that night, and the older girl went in and had sexual intercourse with her father; but he was unaware of her lying down or getting up again.

³⁴ The next morning she said to her younger sister, “I slept with my father last night. Let’s fill him with wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him, so that our family line will continue.” ³⁵ So they got him drunk again that night, and the younger girl went in and lay with him, and, as before, he didn’t know that anyone was there. ³⁶ And so it was that both girls became pregnant from their father. ³⁷ The older girl’s baby was named Moab; he became the ancestor of the nation of the Moabites. ³⁸ The name of the younger girl’s baby was Benammi; he became the ancestor of the nation of the Ammonites.
