1 tn See the note on the word “slave” in 7:2. 2 sn With the instructions Hurry! Bring the best robe, there is a total acceptance of the younger son back into the home. 3 tn Grk “hand”; but χείρ (ceir) can refer to either the whole hand or any relevant part of it (L&N 8.30). 4 sn The need for sandals underlines the younger son’s previous destitution, because he was barefoot. |
