Footnotes
כְּדֶרֶךְ כָּל-הָאָרֶץ (k'derech kol ha-aretz) — "the way of all the earth" — a Hebrew idiom for ordinary sexual intercourse within the context of marriage and procreation. The daughters' catastrophist perspective — shaped by witnessing what they believed was the annihilation of the known world — frames their coming action as desperate survival rather than deliberate transgression.
