Thus
The word "thus" serves as a conclusion to the preceding narrative, indicating the result of the actions taken by Lot's daughters. In Hebrew, the word used here is "וַתַּהֲרֶיןָ" (vat-taharenah), which connects the previous events with their outcome. This word underscores the gravity and finality of the situation, highlighting the consequences of the daughters' decisions. It serves as a reminder of the moral and ethical decline that can occur when individuals rely on their own understanding rather than seeking God's guidance.

both of Lot’s daughters
This phrase emphasizes the involvement of both daughters in the act. The Hebrew word for "daughters" is "בָּנוֹת" (banot), which is a plural form, indicating the collective action and shared responsibility. The mention of "Lot's daughters" specifically ties the narrative back to Lot, a man who had been shown mercy by God through his rescue from Sodom. This familial connection highlights the tragic irony of the situation, as Lot's lineage, which was meant to be preserved, becomes tainted by sin.

became pregnant
The phrase "became pregnant" is translated from the Hebrew word "וַתַּהֲרֶיןָ" (vat-taharenah), which is the same root used earlier for "thus," indicating conception. This word choice underscores the physical reality and the irreversible nature of the daughters' actions. In the cultural and historical context of the Bible, pregnancy was often seen as a blessing and a continuation of one's lineage. However, in this case, it is a result of an incestuous relationship, highlighting the distortion of what was meant to be a divine blessing.

by their father
The phrase "by their father" is a stark and unsettling conclusion to the verse. The Hebrew word for "father" is "אָבִיהֶן" (avihem), which directly links the act of conception to Lot. This phrase brings to light the moral and ethical implications of the daughters' actions, as it violates the natural order and God's design for family relationships. It serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of sin and the importance of adhering to God's commandments.

Verse 36. - Thus were both the daughters of Lot (who after this disappears from sacred history, not even his death being recorded) with child by their father.
