Genesis 19:30–38

The Shameful Origin of Moab and Ammon

³⁰Now Lot went up out of Zoar and settled in the hills with his two daughters, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar, so he lived in a cave with his two daughters. ³¹And the firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of all the world.^{* 32}Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, so that we may preserve offspring through our father.”^{* 33}So they made their father drink wine that night, and the firstborn went in and lay with her father; he did not know when she lay down or when she rose. ³⁴On the next day, the firstborn said to the younger, “Look, I lay last night with my father; let us make him drink wine tonight also; then you go in and lie with him, so that we may preserve offspring through our father.” ³⁵So they made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger rose and lay with him, and he did not know when she lay down or when she rose. ³⁶Thus both the daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father. ³⁷The firstborn bore a son and named him Moab;^m he is the ancestor of the Moabites to this day. ³⁸The younger also bore a son and named him Ben-ammi;ⁿ he is the ancestor of the Ammonites to this day.^*
