I think it might be genesis 20 or about there but I am not sure. It come right after the tale of Lot where lot offered his daughters to the mob for raping and then after Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed got them pregnant himself, fathering two sons, one of whom was Moab If you know the other sons name I would like to know.

DOn't know the other sons name.
I know the bible mentions twice. Each time he was given a dowry of camels etc etc. Let me look that up - one sec
One instance is here: As the Bible story goes, the Egyptian princes saw how stunningly beautiful she was and told Pharaoh about her. Pharaoh was very impressed with Sarah’s beauty and she “was taken into Pharaoh’s house.” (Genesis 12:15) Pharaoh was so pleased with her, he gave Abraham, who in Pharaoh’s mind was her brother, payment for her in the form of “sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.” (Genesis 12:16)
OTher one is here: Abraham replied, “I said to myself, ‘There is surely no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.’ Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father though not of my mother; and she became my wife. (GEN 20:11-12 NIV)

you have really serious misconceptions. Lot did not offer his daughters for raping, he was worried they might hurt the guests in his house, and to appease the carnal people he offered that. you must know that in those days guests were treated very much with respect, read on the Bible about the parable of the guest, and you'll know what i mean. so yeah, Lot did that to protect the guests. i think he knew that they were angels, so all the more he'd do that to save them.
And Abraham did not rent out his wife, he was worried that the kings might kill him and take his wife for themselves, so he told them she was his sister. But God was with him, and protected him, giving the kings clear instructions to leave her alone.
how Lot ended up having his daughters resort to incest to carry on the family lineage, its a morale warning, because Lot was selfish and choose to stay with them, he ended up losing everything he had from the split with Abraham, and had to resort to that.

Lot made a mint in the salt business, the scoundrel!

Poor Sarah... So many reasons why it would suck to be a woman in biblical times.

I think 2 camels & a goat would have sealed the deal.

That's why the bible is true and authentic and not myth. Mythical holy books glorify their key figures. The bible shows their good side and it shows their bad side as well.
