and looked out toward S'dom and 'Amora, scanning the entire plain. There before him the smoke was rising from the land like smoke from a furnace!

But when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Avraham and sent Lot out, away from the destruction, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.
30
Lot went up from Tzo'ar and lived in the hills with his two daughters, because he was afraid to stay in Tzo'ar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave.

The firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there isn't a man on earth to come in to us in the manner customary in the world.
32
Come, let's have our father drink wine; then we'll sleep with him, and that way we'll enable our father to have descendants."
33
So they plied their father with wine that night, and the older one went in and slept with her father; he didn't know when she lay down or when she got up.
34
The following day, the older said to the younger, "Here, I slept last night with my father. Let's make him drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him, and that way we'll enable our father to have descendants."
35
They plied their father with wine that night also, and the younger one got up and slept with him, and he didn't know when she lay down or when she got up.
36
Thus both the daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father.
37
The older one gave birth to a son and called him Mo'av; he is the ancestor of Mo'av to this day.
38
The younger also gave birth to a son, and she called him Ben-'Ammi; he is the ancestor of the people of 'Amon to this day.
