Sure.
AGAIN, you display your ignorance of a story which has been set before you just a few posts ago. The passage I quoted explains the daughters' motivation:
Genesis 19
31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to give us children—as is the custom all over the earth. 32 Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line through our father.”
Clearly, the daughters felt a road trip was not an option and no other men were around. So much for that stupid idea.
And the lineage of Jews is passed through the mother, not the father. You can find this on any number of websites; I chose this one:
Because Israel was a patriarchal society even though actual Jewishness is determined by matriarchal lineage.
