Origin: Lot's incestuous relations with his daughters

<p><b>Genesis 19:30-38 (ESV)&nbsp;</b>

<sup>30 </sup>&nbsp;Now Lot went up out of Zoar and lived in the hills with his two daughters, for he was afraid to live in Zoar. So he lived in a cave with his two daughters.

<sup>31 </sup>&nbsp;And 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 earth.

<sup>32 </sup>&nbsp;Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father.”

<sup>33 </sup>&nbsp;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 arose.&nbsp;

<sup>34 </sup>&nbsp;The next day, the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine tonight also. Then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father.”

<sup>35 </sup>&nbsp;So they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose and lay with him, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

<sup>36 </sup>&nbsp;Thus both the daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father.

<sup>37 </sup>&nbsp;The firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.

<sup>38 </sup>&nbsp;The younger also bore a son and called his name Ben-ammi. He is the father of the Ammonites to this day.
