INCEST A LOT






INCEST A LOT

Our story picks up as Lot seems to be over his grieving for his wife turned into a pillar of salt. Zoar, the small town that would spare his life is not to his liking and he decides to take his two daughters and move into a cave in the mountains.

Ge 19:30 Lot and his two daughters left Zoarl and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave.
Ge 19:31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth.
Ge 19:32 Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.”


Now I know where the Mormons get their rhetoric in order to have daughters sleeping with the old wise ones. The oldest daughter’s plan to continue the linage seems innocent enough, except for the part about there are no men around here to lie with us. The fool hearty part is the drinking of wine with the intention of intoxicating the father enough to be unaware of his actions, but able to perform.

Ge 19:33 That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.

Here again pay attention to the wording, no excuses for translation. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.

Ge 19:34 The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.”

Again I have trouble with the logic here, as the daughter says, “ Wow you have got to try that.”

Ge 19:35 So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.

All come on now, we all know that sex leaves behind a distinctive scent. Papa got a brand new bag. Lot has to know what that old fishy smell has come from or maybe he did know what his mischievous daughters were up to and just played dumb.

Ge 19:36 So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.
Ge 19:37 The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab ; he is the father of the Moabites of today.
Ge 19:38 The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi ;he is the father of the Ammonites of today.


So yes there is a Santa Claus Virginia! Lot’s omnipotent semen successfully impregnated his two daughters and they went on to allow their father to create the Moabites and Ammonites. I wonder why the scribes omitted the questioning Lot should have had when his darling daughters came of pregnant. Unless the moral rationale is that, it is okay to sleep with father when no men are around to lie with and stuff. I guess that little town of Zoar had no strapping men available to sire these hot cave babes. Maybe the real moral here is to beware of daughters bearing wine.
