New King James Version
Genesis 19:24-38
24Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens.
25So He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.
26But his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the Lord.
28Then he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain; and he saw, and behold, the smoke of the land which went up like the smoke of a furnace.
29And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot had dwelt.
30Then Lot went up out of Zoar and dwelt in the mountains, and his two daughters were with him; for he was afraid to dwell in Zoar. And he and his two daughters dwelt in a cave.
31Now the firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man on the earth to come in to us as is the custom of all the earth.
32Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve the lineage of our father.”
33So they made their father drink wine that night. And the firstborn went in and lay with her father, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.
34It happened on the next day that the firstborn said to the younger, “Indeed I lay with my father last night; let us make him drink wine tonight also, and you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve the lineage of our father.”
35Then they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose and lay with him, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.
36Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
37The firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day.
38And the younger, she also bore a son and called his name Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the people of Ammon to this day.
