Graphic Bible · Scene 10 of 11

Lot sits alone in the foreground inside a dim mountain cave, his two adult daughters seated separately far in the background near the opening, all fully clothed in the same modest traveling garments as reference. Bleak isolation and fear after leaving Zoar. No sexual action, embrace, nudity, or sensational staging.

30Then Lot went up from Zoar and lived in the mountains, and his two daughters were with him, because he was afraid to live in Zoar. So he lived in a cave, he and his two daughters.

31And the firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man in the land to come in to us according to the way of all the earth.”

32Come, let us make our father drink wine, and let us lie with him, so that we may preserve offspring through our father.

33So they gave their father wine to drink that night, and the firstborn went in and lay with her father. He did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

34And it happened on the next day that the firstborn said to the younger, “Look, I lay with my father last night. Let us make him drink wine tonight also. Then come, lie with him, so that we may preserve offspring from our father.”

35So they also gave their father wine to drink that night, and the younger arose and lay with him, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.
