Genesis 19:37

Daughter of Lot - OlderMoab

35 So again that night they got their father drunk with wine, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him; he was not aware when she lay down or when she got up.

36 Thus both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.

The older daughter gave birth to a son and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites of today.

38 The younger daughter also gave birth to a son, and she named him Ben-ammi. He is the father of the Ammonites of today.
