Genesis 19:29 in context

The verses around it, from Genesis 19.

25 Thus He destroyed these cities and the entire plain, including all the inhabitants of the cities and everything that grew on the ground.

26 But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

27 Early the next morning, Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD.

28 He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and all the land of the plain, and he saw the smoke rising from the land like smoke from a furnace.

29 So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, He remembered Abraham, and He brought Lot out of the catastrophe that destroyed the cities where he had lived.

30 Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains—for he was afraid to stay in Zoar—where they lived in a cave.

31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man in the land to sleep with us, as is the custom over all the earth.

32 Come, let us get our father drunk with wine so we can sleep with him and preserve his line.”

33 So that night they got their father drunk with wine, and the firstborn went in and slept with her father; he was not aware when she lay down or when she got up.
