Lot and his daughters

Lot and his daughters
Enlight

Lot came out of Zoar and began to live in the mountain, and his two daughters with him, for he was afraid to live in Zoar. And he lived in a cave, and his two daughters were with him.

And the elder said to the younger:

“Our father is old, and there is no man on earth who would come to us according to the custom of the whole earth; Let us therefore give our father wine to drink, and sleep with him, and raise up a descendant from our father.

And they made their father drink wine that night; and the eldest went in and slept with her father that night; but he did not know when she lay down and when she got up. The next day the eldest said to the younger:

- Look, I slept with my father yesterday; Let's give him wine to drink that night too; and you go in, sleep with him, and we will raise up a tribe from our father.

And they made their father drink wine that night; and the youngest came in and slept with him; and he did not know when she lay down and when she got up.

And Lot's two daughters became pregnant by their father, and the eldest gave birth to a son, and called his name Moab, saying, “He is from my father.” He is the father of the Moabites to this day. And the youngest also gave birth to a son, and called his name Ben-Ammi, saying: “He is the son of my family.” He is the father of the Ammonites to this day.
