1599 Geneva Bible
31 And the elder said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the [a]earth, to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth.
32 Come, we will make our father [b]drink wine, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
33 So they made their father drink wine that night, and the elder went and lay with her father: but he perceived not, neither when she lay down, neither when she rose up.
