Genesis 19:24-38
24Then the LORDH3068 rained downH4305 sulfurH1614 and fireH784 onH5921 SodomH5467H5921 and GomorrahH6017—fromH854 the LORDH3068 out ofH4480 the heavensH8064. 25Thus He destroyedH2015 theseH411 citiesH5892 and the entireH3605 plainH3603, includingH853 allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the citiesH5892 and everything that grewH6780 on the groundH127.
26But Lot’s wifeH802 lookedH5027 backH310, and she becameH1961 a pillarH5333 of saltH4417.
27Early the next morningH1242, AbrahamH85 got upH7925 and returned toH413 the placeH4725 whereH834 he had stoodH5975H8033H854 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. 28He lookedH8259 downH5921 towardH6440 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017H5921 and allH3605H6440 the landH776 of the plainH3603, and he sawH7200H2009 the smokeH7008 risingH5927 from the landH776 like smokeH7008 from a furnaceH3536.
29SoH1961 when GodH430 destroyedH7843 the citiesH5892 of the plainH3603, HeH430 rememberedH2142 AbrahamH85, and He broughtH7971 LotH3876 out of theH8432 catastropheH2018 that destroyedH2015 the citiesH5892 whereH834 he had livedH3427.
30LotH3876 andH5973 his twoH8147 daughtersH1323 leftH5927 ZoarH6820 and settledH3427 in the mountainsH2022—forH3588 he was afraidH3372 to stayH3427 in ZoarH6820—whereH1931H8147H1323 they livedH3427 in a caveH4631.
31One day the olderH1067 daughter saidH559 toH413 the youngerH6810, “Our fatherH1 is oldH2204, and there is noH369 manH376 in the landH776 to sleep withH935 usH5921, as is the customH1870 over allH3605 the earthH776. 32ComeH1980, let us get our fatherH1 drunkH8248 with wineH3196 so we can sleepH7901 with himH5973 and preserveH2421 his lineH2233.”
33So thatH1931 nightH3915 they got their fatherH1 drunkH8248 with wineH3196, and the firstbornH1067 went inH935 and slept withH7901 her fatherH1; he was notH3808 awareH3045 when she lay downH7901 or when she got upH6965.
The next dayH4283 the olderH1067 daughter saidH559 toH413 the youngerH6810, “LookH2005, I slept withH7901 my fatherH1 last nightH570. Let us get him drunkH8248 with wineH3196 againH1571 tonightH3915 so you can go inH935 and sleepH7901 with himH5973 and we can preserveH2421 our father’sH1 lineH2233.”
35So againH1571 thatH1931 nightH3915 they got their fatherH1 drunkH8248 with wineH3196, and the youngerH6810 daughter went inH6965 and sleptH7901 with himH5973; he was notH3808 awareH3045 when she lay downH7901 or when she got upH6965.
36Thus bothH8147 of Lot’sH3876 daughtersH1323 became pregnantH2029 by their fatherH1. 37The olderH1067 daughter gave birth toH3205 a sonH1121 and named himH7121H8034 MoabH4124.1 HeH1931 is the fatherH1 of the MoabitesH4124 ofH5704 todayH3117. 38The youngerH6810 daughter alsoH1571 gave birth toH3205 a sonH1121, and she namedH7121 himH8034 Ben-ammiH1151H1931.2 He is the fatherH1 of the AmmonitesH1121H5983 ofH5704 todayH3117.
