Genesis 19:26-35 Common English Bible (CEB)

26. When Lot’s wife looked back, she turned into a pillar of salt.

27. Abraham set out early for the place where he had stood with the Lord,

28. and looked out over Sodom and Gomorrah and over all the land of the valley. He saw the smoke from the land rise like the smoke from a kiln.

29. When God destroyed the cities in the valley, God remembered Abraham and sent Lot away from the disaster that overtook the cities in which Lot had lived.

30. Since Lot had become fearful of living in Zoar, he and his two daughters headed up from Zoar and settled in the mountains where he and his two daughters lived in a cave.

31. The older daughter said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there are no men in the land to sleep with us as is the custom everywhere.

32. Come on, let’s give our father wine to drink, lie down with him, and we’ll have children from our father."

33. That night they served their father wine, and the older daughter went in and lay down with her father, without him noticing when she lay down or got up.

34. The next day the older daughter said to the younger, "Since I lay down with our father last night, let’s serve him wine tonight too, and you go in and lie down with him so that we will both have children from our father."

35. They served their father wine that night also, and the younger daughter lay down with him, without him knowing when she lay down or got up.
