Quick answer
These verses do not portray wine as a harmless blessing in the ordinary drinking sense. They show wine being used as an instrument of deception and moral collapse.
Genesis 19:32 (KJV)
“Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.”
Genesis 19:33 (KJV)
“And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.”
Genesis 19:34 (KJV)
“And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.”
Genesis 19:35 (KJV)
“And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.”
In the wider Bible-wine survey, these passages belong on the warning side.
What these passages show
Lot is not strengthened by wine here. He is made unaware through wine so that a grave sin can be carried out. That makes this grouped passage one of the strongest early warnings in the Bible-wine discussion.
Read them alongside is drinking a sin, wine in the Bible, and two wines in the Bible.
Keep these texts together
These verses belong with Noah’s drunkenness, the mocker passages, and the sober-minded passages. They all warn readers against treating the impairment side of wine as morally small.
Frequently asked questions
Why group all four verses together?
Because the argument and the moral point unfold across all four verses, not in one verse only.
Does this prove every use of wine is the same?
No. It proves that one important stream of wine language in Scripture belongs to deception, shame, and impaired judgment.
