Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.”^{(B) 35} So they got their father to drink wine^(C) that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.^(D)
