NGL, didn't read the rest of the passages to know if this is accurate, but Lot seems to be think they are virgins

His daughters get him drunk and take turns fucking him. Best part of the bible.

Idk dude, I could understand this is if Lot was handing them over to husbands rather than a gang-rape mob.

You're thinking modern values, he probably wouldn't have taken them back in his home. I get sacrificing two bratty teens to save my own ass.

Nah you basically need to understand the cultural background of this as well since it's dealing with pre-judaic societies with cultural standards very different than our own. Sodom was essentially known for having roving rape gangs and they wanted to have sex with Lots visiting angels. Lot refused because he took guests under his protection and in that culture if you take in a guest then you are honor bound to protect them even to the cost of your own family, so Lot giving up his virgin daughters to a rape gang would be seen as a virtuous act, although a modern eye may view it instead as a suggestion towards lot's foolishness and inability to see what was wrong with his life choices that he'd be willing to destroy his family for some sense of honor to strangers.

The incident with his daughters happened immediately after Sodom got nuked by god and Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of salt for looking back. The daughters were like "everyone in the world is dead we have no suitable husband's we must carry on the human race" so they got Lot extremely drunk then had sex with him when he was unaware of his surroundings. Both had kids.
