Genesis 19:35 - Exposition
And they made their father drink wine that night also . The facility with which Lot allowed himself to be inebriated by his daughters Clericus regards as a sign that before this the old man had been accustomed to over-indulgence in wine. The inference, however, of Kalisch, that because "Lot's excess in the enjoyment of wine is no more blamed than it was in Noah," "the narrative exempts him from all serious reproach," can scarcely be admitted. And the younger arose, and lay with him (following the bad example of her sister); and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose ( vide supra , Genesis 19:33 ).
Thus were both the daughters of Lot (who after this disappears from sacred history, not even his death being recorded) with child by their father.
