"And Lot went up out of Zoar,
and dwelt in the mountain, and
his two daughters with him....
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:
Come, let us make our father
drink wine, and we will lie with
him, that we may preserve seed
of our father. 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.
"Gen.19:30-36

Lot, in a drunken sleep is
‘compromised’ by his daughters in
their desire of raise progeny,
believing that they are the only
humans remaining on earth
following the destruction of
Sodom and Gomorah and the
demise of their mother. The moral
and ethical implications of this
biblical account have resonated
through the ages. Yetzer Tov’ and
‘Yetzer Hara’, look on. Through
the cave opening is a
contemporary riot scene - an
Arab man with a sling and a youth
flying a Palestinian flag. The act
between Lot and his daughters
resulted in the birth of Moab and
Ben-Ammon - the forefathers of
the peoples of modern Iraq and
Jordan/West Bank.
