Lot went up from Zoar, and ^[aa](ab)stayed in the ^[ab]mountains, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to ^[ac]stay in Zoar; and he ^[ad]stayed in a cave, he and his two daughters.

Then the firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man ^[ae]on earth to ^(ac)come in to us after the manner of the earth.

Come, ^(ad)let us make our father drink wine, and let us lie with him that we may preserve ^[af]our family through our father."

So 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.

On the following day, the firstborn said to the younger, "Behold, I lay last night with my father; let us make him drink wine tonight also; then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve ^[ag]our family through our father."

So 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.

Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.

The firstborn bore a son, and called his name ^(ae)Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day.

As for the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi; he is the father of the ^[ah]sons of ^(af)Ammon to this day.
