Context

19:33 So that night they made their father drunk with wine, 1  and the older daughter 2  came and had sexual relations with her father. 3  But he was not aware that she had sexual relations with him and then got up. 4  19:34 So in the morning the older daughter 5  said to the younger, “Since I had sexual relations with my father last night, let’s make him drunk again tonight. 6  Then you go and have sexual relations with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” 7  19:35 So they made their father drunk 8  that night as well, and the younger one came and had sexual relations with him. 9  But he was not aware that she had sexual relations with him and then got up. 10
