Genesis 19:3

Genesis 19:3

And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered in unto him, and entered his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.

a. NLT: But Lot insisted, so at last they went home with him. Lot prepared a feast for them, complete with fresh bread made without yeast, and they ate.

b. NIV: But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate.

c. Amplified Bible: [Lot] entreated and urged them greatly until they yielded and [with him] entered his house. And he made them a dinner [with drinking] and had unleavened bread which he baked, and they ate.

d. Septuagint: And he constrained them, and they turned aside to him, and they entered into his house, and he made a feast for them, and baked unleavened cakes for them, and they did eat.

e. Stone Edition Torah/Writings/Prophets: And he urged them very much, so they turned toward him and came to his house; he made a feast for them and baked matzos, and they ate.
