Genesis 19:3
βAnd he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.β
KJV
Read in Genesis 19Meaning
The opening scene places Lot, the visitors, and hospitality at the center of the narrative before danger escalates.
Read carefully
Ancient hospitality customs explain the scene but do not make every social detail a universal rule for readers.
Reflection
The unit invites attention to care for vulnerable guests and to the responsibilities created by receiving them.
