NET Notes: Luk 15:15

¹ tn Grk “joined himself to” (in this case an idiom for beginning to work for someone).

² tn Grk “and he.” Here the conjunction καί (kai) and the personal pronoun have been translated by a relative pronoun to improve the English style.

³ sn To a Jew, being sent to the field to feed pigs would be an insult, since pigs were considered unclean animals (Lev 11:7).
