and his daughters made their father to drink wine, and " How they plotted a wicked plot, and they said, why) shall the possession of our father be wasted blotted (or, out) ? Our mother hath been destroyed on the road, and there is no one to marry us here." And they made their father drunk, and his elder daughter lay with him whilst his mind was clouded with wine, and Lot the righteous man did not know when his daughter lay with him and when she rose up (i.e. from him, for his mind was clouded with strong drink. And Noah was drunk and naked before his wife and children, and he cursed his son who laughed at him ; and [the daughter] was not reckoned against Lot as sin, for he did it unknowingly. And his elder daughter conceived and brought forth " a child, and she called him Moab," which is, being " father on my knee." And he From my interpreted, was the father of the Moabites and the Agarenes. Behold now, it is clear that the King of Moab is of the act of lying with his seed of Shem. 79. CONCERNING THE KING OF AMALEK And it came to pass that when the elder daughter of Lot had brought forth her son, she said unto the younger " Come now, let us make our father drink daughter, so also that thou wine, mayest company with him that, thou mayest get offspring." And again peradventure, they prepared wine, and again they spoke to him the " Drink wine, words of foolishness, and said unto him, O our father, so that thy heart may be comforted " ; and he, the simple man, drank and became drunk. And again, when he had drunk and his mind was clouded with wine, the younger daughter came and lay with him, and again he did not know of her lying with him, or of her rising up from him. And she also conceived and gave birth to a son, and she called his name " Ammon," and he is the father of the Amalekites.
