Genesis 19:3

Context

19:3 But he urged 1  them persistently, so they turned aside with him and entered his house. He prepared a feast for them, including bread baked without yeast, and they ate.

Genesis 33:11

Context
33:11 Please take my present 2  that was brought to you, for God has been generous 3  to me and I have all I need.” 4  When Jacob urged him, he took it. 5 

1 tn The Hebrew verb פָּצַר (patsar, “to press, to insist”) ironically foreshadows the hostile actions of the men of the city (see v. 9, where the verb also appears). The repetition of the word serves to contrast Lot to his world.

2 tn Heb “blessing.” It is as if Jacob is trying to repay what he stole from his brother twenty years earlier.

3 tn Or “gracious,” but in the specific sense of prosperity.

4 tn Heb “all.”

5 tn Heb “and he urged him and he took.” The referent of the first pronoun in the sequence (“he”) has been specified as “Jacob” in the translation for clarity.
