Genesis 19:29-34 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

29. God destroyed the cities in the valley. But he remembered what Abraham had asked. So God saved Lot’s life. But he destroyed the city where Lot had lived.

30. Lot was afraid to continue living in Zoar. So he and his two daughters went to live in the mountains. They lived in a cave there.

31. One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old. Everywhere on the earth women and men marry. But there are no men around here for us to marry.

32. Let’s get our father drunk. Then we can have physical relations with him. We can use our father to have children. That way we can continue our family.”

33. That night the two girls got their father drunk. Then the older daughter went and had physical relations with him. But Lot did not know when she lay down or when she got up.

34. The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I had physical relations with my father. Let’s get him drunk again tonight. Then you can go and have physical relations with him, too. In this way we can use our father to have children to continue our family.”
