Genesis 19:35

Verse 35 of 38. The 19th of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

31The firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man on the earth to come in to us in the way of all the earth.

32Come, let’s make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”

33They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she arose.

34It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let’s make him drink wine again tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”

35They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and lay with him. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she got up.

36Thus both of Lot’s daughters were with child by their father.

37The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.

38The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi. He is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.
