Genesis 19:31-38

31And the firstbornH1067 saidH559 unto the youngerH6810, Our fatherH1 is oldH2204, and there is not a manH376 in the earthH776 to come inH935 unto us after the mannerH1870 of all the earthH776:

32ComeH3212, let us makeH8248 our fatherH1 drinkH8248 wineH3196, and we will lieH7901 with him, that we may preserveH2421 seedH2233 of our fatherH1.

33And they madeH8248 their fatherH1 drinkH8248 wineH3196 that nightH3915: and the firstbornH1067 went inH935, and layH7901 with her fatherH1; and he perceivedH3045 not when she lay downH7901, nor when she aroseH6965.

34And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, that the firstbornH1067 saidH559 unto the youngerH6810, Behold, I layH7901 yesternightH570 with my fatherH1: let us make him drinkH8248 wineH3196 this nightH3915 also; and go thou inH935, and lieH7901 with him, that we may preserveH2421 seedH2233 of our fatherH1.

35And they madeH8248 their fatherH1 drinkH8248 wineH3196 thatH1931 nightH3915 also: and the youngerH6810 aroseH6965, and layH7901 with him; and he perceivedH3045 not when she lay downH7901, nor when she aroseH6965.

36Thus were bothH8147 the daughtersH1323 of LotH3876 with childH2029 by their fatherH1.

37And the firstbornH1067 bareH3205 a sonH1121, and calledH7121 his nameH8034 MoabH4124: the sameH1931 is the fatherH1 of the MoabitesH4124 unto this dayH3117.

38And the youngerH6810, she also bareH3205 a sonH1121, and calledH7121 his nameH8034 Ben–ammiH1151: the same is the fatherH1 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 unto this dayH3117.
