Genesi 19:36 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 19:36

Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their
father.
] We learn from hence what the best of men are when left to themselves; a good man, a righteous Lot, is guilty of crimes the most shocking; he exposed the chastity of his daughters to the men of Sodom, and now his daughters attacked him, and succeeded, being both with child by him; and this brought about by excessive drinking, a sin which often leads on to the foulest crimes, and therefore to be carefully avoided; these sins Lot fell into when as it were alone, on a mountain, in a cave, none but his family with him, and these only his two daughters; he that had stood his ground in the midst of Sodom, notwithstanding all the excesses of that place, the impurities in it, and the temptations that every day offered, now falls when seemingly out of the way of all: these sins and failings of good men are recorded for our admonition and caution, that we may shun all appearance of evil, and be careful lest we fall, and neither be presumptuous not self-confident, see ( 1 Corinthians 10:12 ) .

Genesi 19:36 In-Context

34 E avvenne che il dì seguente, la maggiore disse alla minore: "Ecco, la notte passata io mi giacqui con mio padre; diamogli a bere del vino anche questa notte; e tu entra, e giaciti con lui, affinché possiamo conservare la razza di nostro padre".
35 E anche quella notte dettero a bere del vino al padre loro, e la minore andò a giacersi con lui; ed egli non s’accorse né quando essa si coricò né quando si levò.
36 Così le due figliuole di Lot rimasero incinte del loro padre.
37 E la maggiore partorì un figliuolo, al quale pose nome Moab. Questi è il padre dei Moabiti, che sussistono fino al di d’oggi.
38 E la minore partorì anch’essa un figliuolo, al quale pose nome Ben-Ammi. Questi è il padre degli Ammoniti, che sussistono fino al dì d’oggi.
