29. But when God destroyed the cities of the valley where Lot was living, he kept Abraham in mind and allowed Lot to escape to safety.
30. Because Lot was afraid to stay in Zoar, he and his two daughters moved up into the hills and lived in a cave.
31. The elder daughter said to her sister, “Our father is getting old, and there are no men in the whole world to marry us so that we can have children.
32. Come on, let's make our father drunk, so that we can sleep with him and have children by him.”
33. That night they gave him wine to drink, and the elder daughter had intercourse with him. But he was so drunk that he didn't know it.
34. The next day the elder daughter said to her sister, “I slept with him last night; now let's make him drunk again tonight, and you sleep with him. Then each of us will have a child by our father.”
35. So that night they made him drunk, and the younger daughter had intercourse with him. Again he was so drunk that he didn't know it.
36. In this way both of Lot's daughters became pregnant by their own father.
37. The elder daughter had a son, whom she named Moab. He was the ancestor of the present-day Moabites.
38. The younger daughter also had a son, whom she named Benammi. He was the ancestor of the present-day Ammonites.
