    32Come, let’s make our father drunk with wine so we can go to bed with him and preserve our family line through our father.”

    33So that night they made their father drunk with wine, and the older daughter came in and went to bed with her father. But he was not aware of when she lay down with him or when she got up.

    35So they made their father drunk that night as well, and the younger one came and went to bed with him. But he was not aware of when she lay down with him or when she got up.
