Origen of Alexandria

HOMILIES ON GENESIS 5.3 (253)

After these things now that well-known story is related in which it is written that Lot's daughters cunningly lay with their father by stealth. In this matter I do not know if anyone can so excuse Lot as to free him from sin. Nor again do I think he should be so accused that he ought to become party to such serious incest. For I do not find him to have plotted against or to have violently snatched away the chastity of his daughters but rather to have been the victim of a plot and cunningly ensnared.

Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)

And they made their father drink wine that night also,.... Until he was drunk; which is an aggravation of his sin, that he should be overtaken a second time, and that so soon as the next night, when he ought to have been upon his guard, knowing how he had fallen into it the night before: and the younger arose and lay with him; arose from her own bed, and went to her father's, and lay down by him: and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose; See Gill on Gen 19:33.
