Western Asia. The Old Testament [And Lot came out of Sigor and lived in grief, and his two daughters were with him, for he was afraid to live in Sigora. And he lived in a cave with his two daughters. And the eldest said to the youngest: Our father is old, and there is no man on earth who would come to us according to the custom of the whole earth; so let us drink wine to our father, and sleep with him, and raise up our father's tribe. And they gave their father wine that night; and the eldest came in and slept with her father; but he did not know when she lay down or when she got up. The next day, the eldest said to the youngest, “Well, I slept with my father yesterday; we will give him wine that night as well; and you come in, sleep with him, and we will raise our tribe from our father. And they also gave their father wine that night; and the youngest came in and slept with him; and he did not know when she lay down or when she got up. And both of Lot's daughters became pregnant with their father, and the eldest son gave birth to him, and named him Moab. He is still the father of the Moabites. And the youngest also gave birth to a son, and named him Ben Ammy. He is the father of the Ammonites to this day]: Gen. 19, 30-38.
