Now Lot went up from Zoar with his two daughters and stayed in the mountains, because he was afraid to stay in Zoar; and he stayed in a cave, he and his two daughters.

And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt 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 on earth to have relations with us according to the custom of all the earth.

And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:

"Come, let's make our father drink wine, and let's sleep with him so that we may keep our family alive through our father."

Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

So they made their father drink wine that night, and the firstborn went in and slept with her father; and he did not know when she lay down or got up.

And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

On the following day, the firstborn said to the younger, "Look, I slept last night with my father; let's make him drink wine tonight too, then you go in and sleep with him, so that we may keep our family alive through our father."

And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

So they had their father drink wine that night too, and the younger got up and slept with him; and he did not know when she lay down or got up.

And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

And so both of the daughters of Lot conceived by their father.

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

The firstborn gave birth to a son, and named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day.

And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.

As for the younger, she also gave birth to a son, and named him Ben-ammi; he is the father of the sons of Ammon to this day.

And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
