LOT.
176. And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar; and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. And the first-born said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth. Come let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him. that we may preserve seed of our father. And they made their father drink wine that night; and the first-born went in and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down nor when she arose. And it came to pass on the morrow, that the first-born said unto the younger, Behold I lay yesterday with my father; let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of my father. And they made their father drink wine that night also; and the younger arose, and lay with him, and he perceived not when she lay down nor when she arose. Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their FATHER. Gen. xix. 30 to 36.
RUTH.
177. Wash thyself therefore and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor; but make not thyself known unto the man; until he shall have done eating and drinking. And it shall be when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie? and thou shalt go in and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do. And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry; he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly and uncovered his feet and laid her down. And it came to pass at midnight that the man was afraid? and turned himself, and behold a woman lay at his feet. And he said, Who art thou? and she answered, I am Ruth, thine handmaiden; spread therefore thy shirt over thine handmaiden, for thou art a near kinsman. And he said, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my daughter: for thou hast showed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followest not young men, whether poor or rich: and now my daughter, fear not, 1 will do thee all that thou requirest, for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman. Ruth iii. 3 to 11.
RACHEL.
178. And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister, and said unto Jacob. Give me children, or else I die.. And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel; and he said, Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb: And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in into her; and she shall bare upon my knees, that I may also have children by her. And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife and Jacob went in unto her. And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son. Genesis xxx. 1 to 5.
179. And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maid servants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Baehel's tent. Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them into the camel's furniture, and sat upon them, and Laban searched all the tent but found them not. And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord, that I cannot rise up before thee: for the custom of women is upon me: and he searched, but found not the images. Gen, xxxi. 33 to 35.
