Genesis 19:27-38 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

27. And Aḇraham arose early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before יהוה,

28. and he looked toward Seḏom and Amorah, and toward all the land of the plain. And he looked and saw the smoke of the land which went up like the smoke of a furnace.

29. Thus it came to be, when Elohim destroyed the cities of the plain, that Elohim remembered Aḇraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot had dwelt.

30. And Lot went up out of Tso‛ar and dwelt in the mountains, and his two daughters were with him, for he was afraid to dwell in Tso‛ar. And he and his two daughters dwelt in a cave.

31. And the first-born said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man on the earth to come in to us, as is the way of all the earth.

32. “Come, let us make our father drink wine and lie with him, so that we preserve the seed of our father.”

33. So they made their father drink wine that night. And the first-born went in and lay with her father, and he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she arose.

34. And it came to be on the next day that the first-born said to the younger, “See, I lay with my father last night. Let us make him drink wine tonight as well, and you go in and lie with him, so that we keep the seed of our father.”

35. So they made their father drink wine that night as well. And the younger arose and lay with him, and he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she arose.

36. Thus both the daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father.

37. And the first-born bore a son and called his name Mo’aḇ, he is the father of the Mo’aḇites to this day.

38. And the younger, she also bore a son and called his name Ben-Ammi, he is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.
