There, he and his daughters found a suitable cave to dwell in.[v.30]
The older daughter, concerned about preserving the family line, suggested to her sister that, because no men were around, it was their duty to preserve the bloodline by lying with their father.[v.31,32]
The daughters then got their father so drunk they were able to have intercourse with him on two consecutive nights, the older daughter having her way with him the first night, followed by the younger on the following night.[v.31-35] The text describes that Lot was so drunk he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.[v.33,35]
There are other cases in the Bible in which family members marry in order to keep pure bloodlines. It was customary for cousins to marry [Gen.11:27,29] for this purpose, and Abraham married his half-sister.

Genesis 11: This is the account of Terahs family line.
Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot. While his father Terah was still alive, Haran died in Ur of the Chaldeans, in the land of his birth. Abram and Nahor both married. The name of Abrams wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahors wife was Milkah; she was the daughter of Haran, the father of both Milkah and Iskah.
And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
