Exegesis
This ignorance is framed by the merism be-shikhvah u-ve-kumah {בְּשִׁכְבָהּ וּבְקֻמָהּ | bə-šiḵ-bāh û-ḇə-qu-māh} ‘in her lying down and in her rising up’, covering the entire episode. The English translations preserve the coordinated verbs and temporal phrases to reflect the narrative flow and merism.
In context — Genesis 19:35
So they likewise gave their father wine to drink that night, and the younger got up and lay with him; yet he was not aware when she lay down or when she got up.
