He didn’t bed the daughters, THEY bed HIM when he was drunk with wine. He couldn’t tell who it was because he was soused.

The original story has it that the threat of the father bedding the daughters is always hanging over the mother should she fail to find them husbands.

The revised story in Genesis puts all the blame on the girls. The hapless Lot is drunk (as usual).

We do not consider drunkeness to absolve one of guilt these days and, if we were to rewrite the story, would portray Lot as some sort of monster I am sure.
