Genesis 19:33-38

33 So they made their father drink wine that night; and the first-born went in, and lay with her father; he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

34 And on the next day, the first-born 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 through our father."

35 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.

36 Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.

37 The first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day.

38 The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites to this day.
