Did Lot's daughters rape Lot?

Upvote:7

I believe Lot's Daughters did rape their father. However, the fact that Lot was raped does not excuse his wonton drunkenness by any means.

By rape I simply mean that Lot did not agree (and would not have agreed if sober.) Note the quote below:

Gen 19:33 So they made their father drink wine that night, and the firstborn went in and lay with her father; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

Note that this was the case with the older daughter and the younger did the same.

Gen 19:35 So they made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger arose and lay with him; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

The very fact that Lot was completely ignorant of what went on made him incapable of agreeing with the act of incest. Therefore, it was an act of rape by the daughters who deliberately inebriated their father to make him insensible enough so that they could get away with such action.
