Where is it found in the Bible?

A less misleading question would be, 'Which two daughters had sex with their father in the Bible?' Blame lies fairly and squarely with the daughters of Lot who were so desperate to have children, they got their father drunk so he didn't know what they'd got him to do. Remember, the Bible can be descriptive without being proscriptive.

This passage in Genesis 19:30-38 also shows that the sons they gave birth to then fathered nations that were a thorn in the side of Israel: Moab and Ammon. God did not bless this wilful incest on the part of the daughters.

Lot and there was a good reason for that. It was after Sodom and Gamorrah was destroyed. The only reason the other city was not destroyed was that Lot and his two daughters ran there. Zoar Gen. 19:23

When they saw the destruction they were terrified and thought the rest of the world was about to be destroyed. So then they ran to the mountains.
They did not have CNN to tell them it was an isolated event.
Remembering the flood which occurred shortly before that.
Which was no small event, it literally ripped apart continients.
Genesis 10:25
Gen. 18:20 Soddom and Gamorrah story starts.
Thinking that all life would end with their death, determined to reproduce to save the human race.
Abraham look down from his mountain and saw thick smoke.
this was some time later. So they had every reason to believe when their mother died that was the end of the human race. He was afraid it says in verse 30 so he went dwelling in a cave. God probably used some kind of astroid.
Said it rained down fire and sulfur. The oldest daughter said our father is old and their is not another man in the land.
They thought he was the last man on earth.
So they proceeded to get him drunk, so much so that he didn't even know he had sex with them.
So they each had a son and only later left the cave and found out there was civilization. They were the fathers of Moab and Ammon. It was not a case of them repeatedly having sex with their father because in all that time some 20 years they only had one son each. It was a case where they thought they were saving humanity from extinction.
Out of several cities and even his wife wasn't save they were.
So they must have been good in God's eyes.
There is no indication that God said they sinned by doing that.

It was Lot, the drunken OT hero.

So here we have this guy that the Bible claims is the most righteous man in these two cities. Oddly, the Bible doesn't bother telling us what makes him so righteous. Usually, theres a sort of resume telling us why this person is so holy, or why that person is loved by God more than anyone else. Not so with Lot . All we REALLY know about Lot , The Holy Roller of Sodom and Gomorrah is what we read about in his story.

* He offers his virgin daughters to a mob of would-be-angel rapers as surrogate gang-bang victims.

* Lots wife, good ol' whatshername, was a busybody who just had to stick her nose into everyones business. God has decided to murder the residents of Sodom and Gomorrah. Gods angel tells the family "Whatever you do, just don't look back!" and just like a bad horror movie script, she looks back while the readers subconcious is screaming "Don't look! Don't look!". Predictably, God turns her into salt to restock His Holy Spice Rack which is in Heaven.

*We know that Lot and his daughters weren't exactly from the deep end of the Sodom/Gomorrah gene pool, because after they flee the cities, they take up residence in a cave believing there are no more men left on earth. Personally, I'm inclined to believe that they got the idea from Lot because....

* He clearly never taught his daughters anything about morality. They liked to get him drunk so they could have sex with him. There's something wrong with this picture, as any woman who has ever gotten her man so drunk that he passes out can tell you about.

* Presumably, because Lot is Gods little go-to guy, when the girls get knocked up, He doesn't suggest that Lot find himself a 12-step program. No, God curses the grandchildren and their family lines become the redheaded stepchildren of the Jewish race. God spends a good part of the OT having his minions do mean, nasty things to Lots descendants...

Lots resume as a man of God is a little... unusual, don't you think?

Lot. He too came from Sumer where the inhabitants followed the Anunnaki rule on succession. A son by an aunt, half-sister, a daughter or a grandaughter was more likely to succeed the throne than a son by the legal wife.

Lot

Genesis 19:33 That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she go up.

What they did was sinful and wrong, this was not put in the bible as an example of what to do.

Read that this morning in Genesis 19:30-38. It was Lot and his daughter's made him drunk and had sex with him because their whole family was destroyed and they wanted to preserve their lineage. One daughter gave birth to Moab who started the Moabites. And the other started the Ammonites.

Lot.

Gen 19:30 ¶ 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.


Gen 19:31 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:


Gen 19:32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.


Gen 19:33 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.
