01:019:028 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the
land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went
up as the smoke of a furnace.
01:019:029 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the
plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of
the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
01:019:030 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and
his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he
dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
01:019:031 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old,
and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner
of all the earth:
01:019:032 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie
with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
01:019:033 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the
firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when
she lay down, nor when she arose.
01:019:034 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said
unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make
him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that
we may preserve seed of our father.
01:019:035 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and
the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay
down, nor when she arose.
01:019:036 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their
father.
01:019:037 And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the
same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
01:019:038 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name
Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
01:020:001 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country,
and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
01:020:002 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and
Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
01:020:003 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to
him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast
taken; for she is a man's wife.
01:020:004 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt
thou slay also a righteous nation?
01:020:005 Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she
herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and
innocency of my hands have I done this.
01:020:006 And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou
didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from
sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
01:020:007 Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet,
and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore
her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are
thine.
