Génesis 19:3 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 19:3

And he pressed them greatly
He prayed, he entreated, he persuaded, he made use of a multitude of words, and of all the arguments he could think of, to prevail upon them; and might not only press them with words, but make use of gestures, as taking them by the hand, or by their clothes, and as it were forcing them into his house, whereby it plainly appeared he was cordial and hearty in his invitation:

and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house:
went along with him to it, and instead of proceeding forward, or continuing where they were, or steering their course to a street in the city, they turned in to Lot's house:

and he made them a feast;
a large, liberal, and generous entertainment, as Abraham did, consisting of a variety of eatables and drinkables; indeed it has its name only from drinking, wine being a principal part of a banquet:

and did bake unleavened bread;
not because it was the time of the passover, as Jarchi suggests, for as yet that was not instituted; but for quicker dispatch, that his guests might have their supper the sooner, and get to bed the earlier, and rest themselves; bread without leaven in it being sooner baked than that which is made with it:

and they did eat;
the Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem are,

``they seemed as if they ate.''

Génesis 19:3 In-Context

1 Destrucción de Sodoma y Gomorra
Al anochecer, los dos ángeles llegaron a la entrada de la ciudad de Sodoma. Lot estaba allí sentado y, cuando los vio, se puso de pie para recibirlos. Entonces les dio la bienvenida y se inclinó rostro en tierra.

2 —Señores míos —dijo él—, vengan a mi casa para lavarse los pies, y sean mis huéspedes esta noche. Entonces mañana podrán levantarse temprano y seguir su camino.
—Oh, no —respondieron ellos—. Pasaremos la noche aquí, en la plaza de la ciudad.

3 Pero Lot insistió, y finalmente ellos fueron con él a su casa. Lot preparó un banquete para ellos, con pan sin levadura recién horneado, y ellos comieron;

4 pero antes de que se fueran a dormir, todos los hombres de Sodoma, tanto jóvenes como mayores, llegaron de todas partes de la ciudad y rodearon la casa.

5 Y le gritaron a Lot:
—¿Dónde están los hombres que llegaron para pasar la noche contigo? ¡Haz que salgan para que podamos tener sexo con ellos!
