32 Come, let us ply our father with wine and then lie with him, that we may ensure posterity by our father.”

33 So that night they plied their father with wine, and the firstborn went in and lay with her father; but he was not aware of her lying down or getting up.

34 The next day the firstborn said to the younger: “Last night I lay with my father. Let us ply him with wine again tonight, and then you go in and lie with him, that we may ensure posterity by our father.”

35 So that night, too, they plied their father with wine, and then the younger one went in and lay with him; but he was not aware of her lying down or getting up.
