SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:32
Ven, demos a beber vino a nuestro padre, y durmamos con él, y conservaremos de nuestro padre generación.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 19:32
Verse 32. Come, let us make our father drink wine] On their flight from Zoar it is probable they had brought with them certain provisions to serve them for the time being, and the wine here mentioned among the rest. After considering all that has been said to criminate both Lot and his daughters in this business, I cannot help thinking that the transaction itself will bear a more favourable construction than that which has been generally put on it. 1. It does not appear that it was through any base or sensual desires that the daughters of Lot wished to deceive their father. 2. They might have thought that it would have been criminal to have married into any other family, and they knew that their husbands elect, who were probably of the same kindred, had perished in the overthrow of Sodom. 3. They might have supposed that there was no other way left to preserve the family, and consequently that righteousness for which it had been remarkable, but the way which they now took.4. They appear to have supposed that their father would not come into the measure, because he would have considered it as profane; yet, judging the measure to be expedient and necessary, they endeavoured to sanctify the improper means used, by the goodness of the end at which they aimed; a doctrine which, though resorted to by many, should be reprobated by all.Acting on this bad principle they caused their father to drink wine. See note on ""ver. 38"".
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 30-38 - See the peril of security. Lot, who kept chaste in Sodom, and was mourner for the wickedness of the place, and a witness against it, when in the mountain, alone, and, as he thought, out of the way of temptation, is shamefully overtaken. Let him that thinks he stand high, and stands firm, take heed lest he fall. See the peril of drunkenness; it is not only a great sin itself, but lets in many sins which bring a lasting wound and dishonour. Many a man does that, when he is drunk, which, when he is sober, he could not think of withou horror. See also the peril of temptation, even from relations an friends, whom we love and esteem, and expect kindness from. We mus dread a snare, wherever we are, and be always upon our guard. No excus can be made for the daughters, nor for Lot. Scarcely any account can be given of the affair but this, The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked: who can know it? From the silence of the Scripture concerning Lot henceforward, learn that drunkenness, as it makes men forgetful, so it makes them to be forgotten __________________________________________________________________
