Genesis 19:26-33 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

26. But his wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

27. And Abraham arose early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before Yahweh.

28. And he looked down upon the surface of Sodom and Gomorrah, and upon the whole surface of the land, the plain. And he saw that, behold, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a smelting furnace.

29. So it was, when God destroyed the cities of the plain that God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out from the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.

30. And Lot went out from Zoar and settled in the hill country with his two daughters, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. So he lived in a cave, he and his two daughters.

31. And the firstborn daughter said to the younger one, “Our father is old, and there is no man in the land to come in to us according to the manner of all the land.

32. Come, let us give our father wine to drink and let us lie with him that we may secure descendants through our father.”

33. And they gave their father wine to drink that night, and the firstborn went and lay with her father, but he did not know when she lay down or when she got up.
