31 Then the firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man [a]on earth to [b](A)have relations with us according to the custom of all the earth. 32 Come, (B)let’s make our father drink wine, and let’s sleep with him so that we may keep [c]our family alive through our father.” 33 So they made their father drink wine that night, and the firstborn went in and slept with her father; and he did not know when she lay down or got up.

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)
