Beautiful, the bible is full of stories about murder, incest and adultery is a bestseller through the centuries.
Adjusted dozens of times so that the lies are more in line with the times.
Genesis 19:30-38
New International Version
Lot and His Daughters
^30^ Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. ^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 through our father.”
^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.
^34^ The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I slept with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” ^35^ So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.
^36^ So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. ^37^ The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab^[a]^; he is the father of the Moabites of today. ^38^ The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi^[b]^; he is the father of the Ammonites^[c]^ of today.
I always took that story to mean, Lot raped his daughters but then changed the story. People were pretty messed up back then.
