Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. We learn from hence what the best of men are when left to themselves; a good man, a righteous Lot, is guilty of crimes the most shocking; he exposed the chastity of his daughters to the men of Sodom, and now his daughters attacked him, and succeeded, being both with child by him; and this brought about by excessive drinking, a sin which often leads on to the foulest crimes, and therefore to be carefully avoided; these sins Lot fell into when as it were alone, on a mountain, in a cave, none but his family with him, and these only his two daughters; he that had stood his ground in the midst of Sodom, notwithstanding all the excesses of that place, the impurities in it, and the temptations that every day offered, now falls when seemingly out of the way of all: these sins and failings of good men are recorded for our admonition and caution, that we may shun all appearance of evil, and be careful lest we fall, and neither be presumptuous not self-confident, see 1Co 10:12.

Ver. 36. With child by their father. ] God suffers, oft, such unlawful commixions to take effect; for a just punishment of the same.

Abraham and Lot are contrasted characters. Of the same stock Gen 11:31 subjected to the same environment, and both justified men; Gen 15:6; 2Pe 2:7; 2Pe 2:8 the contrast in character and career is shown to be the result of their respective choices at the crisis of their lives. Lot “chose him all the plain of Jordan” for present advantage; Abraham “looked for a city which hath foundations”; Heb 11:10; Gen 13:18 “came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre (fatness), which is in Hebron” (communion). The men remain types of the worldly and spiritual believer.
