And on the next day, the first-born said to the younger, "Behold, I lay last night with my father; let us make him drink wine tonight also; then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring through our father." -- Gen 19:34 (RSV-CE)But reading into the whole context, I think the girls have the same father -- Lot.

The first-born said "my father"
I stumbled upon this verse thinking that they have a different father but the same mother.

Sunday of the 3rd week of Christmas - The Baptism of the Lord
And he preached, saying, "After me comes he who is mightier than I, the
thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. I have
baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by
John in the Jordan. And when he came up out of the water, immediately he
saw the heavens opened and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove;
and a voice came from heaven, "Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am
well pleased." -- Mark 1:7-11 (RSV-2CE)Thursday, January 8, 2015

NABRE vs. NRSV: Memorial of St. Basil the Great and St. Gregory Nazianzen, Bishops and Doctors (Jn 1:19-28)
From time to time I will compare readings from the Lectionary using the NABRE and NRSV. This is done by many bloggers and I guess it won't be bad doing the same. Here it goes:
NABRE:
This is the testimony of John.
When the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to him
to ask him, “Who are you?”
He admitted and did not deny it, but admitted,
“I am not the Christ.”
So they asked him,
“What are you then? Are you Elijah?”
And he said, “I am not.”
“Are you the Prophet?”
He answered, “No.”
So they said to him,
“Who are you, so we can give an answer to those who sent us?
What do you have to say for yourself?”
He said:
“I am the voice of one crying out in the desert,
‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’
as Isaiah the prophet said.”
Some Pharisees were also sent.
They asked him,
“Why then do you baptize
if you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet?”
John answered them,
“I baptize with water;
but there is one among you whom you do not recognize,
the one who is coming after me,
whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie.”
This happened in Bethany across the Jordan,
where John was baptizing.
NRSV:
19 This is the testimony given by John when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” 20 He confessed and did not deny it, but confessed, “I am not the Messiah.”[a] 21 And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.” 22 Then they said to him, “Who are you? Let us have an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” 23 He said,
NABRE:

What do you say about yourself?” 23 He said,
“I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness,
‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’”
‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’”
as the prophet Isaiah said.
24 Now they had been sent from the Pharisees. 25 They asked him, “Why then are you baptizing if you are neither the Messiah,[b] nor Elijah, nor the prophet?” 26 John answered them, “I baptize with water. Among you stands one whom you do not know, 27 the one who is coming after me; I am not worthy to untie the thong of his sandal.” 28 This took place in Bethany across the Jordan where John was baptizing.
Another Bible on my Wish List
Here's another bible I will include on my Wish List. This is the Catholic Study Bible. I still don't know when I will have it but I'm praying that in my tight budget I will receive it this January. In my love for the Word of God, I'm starving to study it more. And by the grace of God I hope that the Holy Spirit will enlighten my mind to understand it and live it.
I haven't posted that other item on my Wish List here in my blog and I'm inclined to list it down below:
