Genesis 19:30-38

30And LotH3876 wentH5927 up out of ZoarH6820, and dweltH3427 in the mountainH2022, and his twoH8147 daughtersH1323 with him; for he fearedH3372 to dwellH3427 in ZoarH6820: and he dweltH3427 in a caveH4631, he and his twoH8147 daughtersH1323. 31And the first-born saidH559 unto the youngerH6810, Our fatherH1 is oldH2204, and there is not a manH376 in the earthH776 to comeH935 in unto us after the manner of all the earthH776: 32come, let us make our fatherH1 drinkH8248 wineH3196, and we will lieH7901 with him, that we may preserveH2421 seedH2233 of our fatherH1. 33And they madeH3045 their fatherH1 drinkH8248 wineH3196 that nightH3915: and the first-born wentH935 in, and layH7901 with her fatherH1; and he knewH3045 not when she layH7901 downH7901, nor when she aroseH6965. 34And it cameH935 to pass on the morrow, that the first-born saidH559 unto the youngerH6810, Behold, I layH7901 yesternight with my fatherH1: let us make him drinkH8248 wineH3196 this nightH3915 alsoH1571; and goH935 thou in, and lieH7901 with him, that we may preserveH2421 seedH2233 of our fatherH1. 35And they madeH3045 their fatherH1 drinkH8248 wineH3196 that nightH3915 alsoH1571: and the youngerH6810 aroseH6965, and layH7901 with him; and he knewH3045 not when she layH7901 downH7901, nor when she aroseH6965. 36Thus were both the daughtersH1323 of LotH3876 with child by their fatherH1. 37And the first-born bare a sonH1121, and calledH7121 his nameH8034 MoabH4124: the same is the fatherH1 of the Moabites unto this dayH3117. 38And the youngerH6810, she alsoH1571 bare a sonH1121, and calledH7121 his nameH8034 Ben-ammi: the same is the fatherH1 of the children of AmmonH5983 unto this dayH3117.
