| - | While [[Lot]] and his two daughters are living in a mountain [[cave]] after the destruction of [[Sodom and Gomorra]], the girls believe that the rest of humanity has been exterminated, so they conspire to get Lot [[Drunkenness|drunk]] so that he will impregnate them, as they believed they were the only 3 people alive, and thus, that they could not otherwise have children. The plan succeeds, and both daughters became pregnant with sons. The first was named Moab (Hebrew, lit., "from the father" [meh-Av]). He was the patriarch of the nation known as [[Moab]]. The second was named Ammon or Ben-Ammi (Hebrew, lit., "from our nation"). He became the patriarch of the nation of [[Ammon]]. The resulting unusual complicated family relationships are explored in a riddle in the [[Exeter Book]], which says that of Moab and Ben-Ammi, each is the other's [[uncle]] ''and'' [[Cousin|nephew]]. | ||
