Genesis 19:24-38 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

24. Then the Lord rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the Lord out of the sky.

25. He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.

26. But Lot’s wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

27. Abraham went up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the Lord.

28. He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.

29. When God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.

30. Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar. He lived in a cave with his two daughters.

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

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

33. They 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.

34. It 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.”

35. They 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.

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

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

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