Genesis 19:35 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 19:35

And they made their father drink wine that night also
Until he was drunk; which is an aggravation of his sin, that he should be overtaken a second time, and that so soon as the next night, when he ought to have been upon his guard, knowing how he had fallen into it the night before: and the younger arose and lay with him;
arose from her own bed, and went to her father's, and lay down by him: and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose;
(See Gill on Genesis 19:33).

Genesis 19:35 In-Context

33 And so they gave to their father to drink wine in that night (And so that night they gave their father some wine to drink), and the more, or the elder, daughter entered, and slept with her father; and he feeled not, neither when the daughter lay down, neither when she [a]rose.
34 And the tother day the more daughter said to the less, or the younger (one), Lo! I slept yesterday with my father; give we to him to drink wine also in this night; and thou sleep with him, that we save the seed of our father. (And the next day the elder daughter said to the younger one, Lo! yesterday I slept with my father; tonight we shall also give him some wine to drink, and then thou sleep with him, so that we shall most assuredly save our father's seed, or our father's family.)
35 And they gave to their father also in that night to drink wine, and the less daughter entered, and slept with him; and soothly he feeled not then when she lay down, neither when she [a]rose. (And so also that night they gave their father some wine to drink, and the younger daughter entered, and slept with him; and truly he felt nothing when she lay down, nor when she arose.)
36 Therefore the two daughters of Lot conceived of their father. (And so Lot's two daughters conceived by their father.)
37 And the more daughter childed a son, and called his name Moab; he is the father of (the) men of Moab unto this present day.
