Genesis 19:34

34 The next day the older daughter said to the younger one, "I did it! Last night I went to bed with my father. Let's give him wine to drink again tonight. Then you go to bed with him so that we'll be able to preserve our family line through our father."

Genesis 19:34 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 19:34

And it came to pass on the morrow
The day following the night, in which the above was transacted: that the firstborn said to the younger, behold, I lay yesternight with
my father;
informed her, that what they had contrived succeeded according to their wish, and therefore, for her encouragement to go on, proposes to take the same method again: let us make him drink wine this night also, and go thou in [and] lie
with him, that we may preserve seed of our father;
may have children by him, and so our family be kept up, from whence it may be hoped the Messiah will spring, (See Gill on Genesis 19:32).
