The context is the aftermath of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, where Lot and his daughters have taken refuge in a cave. The repetition underscores the desperation and misguided actions of Lot's daughters, who believed they needed to preserve their family line.<p><b>they got their father drunk with wine</b><br>Wine in biblical times was a common beverage, often used in celebrations and religious rituals. However, its misuse is frequently warned against in Scripture (<a href="/proverbs/20.htm">Proverbs 20:1</a>, <a href="/ephesians/5-18.htm">Ephesians 5:18</a>). The daughters' use of wine to intoxicate Lot reflects a moral decline and a lack of faith in God's provision, contrasting with the biblical ideal of sobriety and righteousness.<p><b>and the younger daughter went in and slept with him</b><br>This act is a continuation of the incestuous relationship initiated by the older daughter. It reflects the cultural and moral decay that can occur when individuals are removed from a community of faith and accountability. The act is reminiscent of the moral failures seen in other parts of Genesis, such as the sin of Ham (<a href="/genesis/9-20.htm">Genesis 9:20-25</a>).<p><b>he was not aware when she lay down or when she got up</b><br>Lot's lack of awareness underscores his vulnerability and the complete control his daughters had over the situation. This phrase highlights the consequences of excessive drinking, which leads to a loss of self-control and awareness. It also serves as a narrative device to emphasize Lot's passive role in the events, contrasting with his earlier active role in choosing to live near Sodom (<a href="/genesis/13-12.htm">Genesis 13:12-13</a>).<br><br>This passage, while troubling, serves as a reminder of the complexities of human sin and the need for divine grace. It also foreshadows the future enmity between the descendants of Lot's daughters, the Moabites and Ammonites, and the Israelites, illustrating the long-term consequences of sin.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/l/lot.htm">Lot</a></b><br>Nephew of Abraham, who settled in Sodom.
