What Does Genesis 19:34 Mean?
The next morning, the elder daughter informs the younger of what transpired. She had lain with their father the previous night. She now proposes that they follow the same plan—giving Lot wine and lying with him again—so that the younger daughter might also conceive.
The repetition of the act is intentional. The elder daughter essentially recruits her sister to participate in the same transgression. She frames it as necessary for the same reason: to preserve their family line.
