Genesis 19:31-33
New American Standard Bible 1995
31 Then the firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man [a]on earth to (A)come in to us after the manner of the earth. 32 Come, (B)let us make our father drink wine, and let us lie with him that we may preserve [b]our family through our father.” 33 So they made their father drink wine that night, and the firstborn went in and lay with her father; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

Genesis 19:31-33
New International Version
31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to give us children—as is the custom all over the earth. 32 Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line(A) through our father.”(B)
33 That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.(C)
