31The older daughter said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is no man in the land to marry us in the customary way of the entire earth.
32"Come, let us get our father to drink wine and sleep with him so that we can preserve our family line through our father."
33That night, they made their father drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.
34The next day, the older daughter said to the younger, "Last night I lay with my father. Let’s make him drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through him."
35So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in and lay with him. Again, he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.

13because we are about to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it."
14So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, "Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!" But to his sons-in-law, he seemed to be joking.
15With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished."
16When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand, the hands of his wife, and the hands of his two daughters, and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them.
17As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, "Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains, or you will be swept away!"
