Colossians 3:9

3:9 Do not lie to one another since you have put off the old man with its practices

¹ tn Heb “Send me away! Why should I kill you?” The question has the force of a threat in this context. See P. K. McCarter, I Samuel (AB), 325, 26.

² tc The translation follows the LXX, which reads “I am guilty,” rather than the MT, which has “I have turned.”

³ tn Heb “What is this?” The enclitic pronoun “this” adds emphasis to the question, which is comparable to the English rhetorical question, “How in the world?”

⁴ tn Heb “you hastened to find.” In translation the infinitive becomes the main verb and the first verb becomes adverbial.

⁵ tn Heb “caused to meet before me.”

⁶ tn Heb “and he said, ‘Because the Lord your God….’” The order of the introductory clause and the direct discourse has been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons.

⁷ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁸ tn The clause begins with the temporal indicator (“and it happened”), making it subordinate to the main clause that follows later in the sentence.

⁹ tn Heb “and his eyes were weak from seeing.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “greater” (in terms of age).

¹¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Esau) is specified in the translation for clarity.

¹² tn Heb “he came and lived.”

¹³ tn Or “terebinths.”

¹⁴ tn The “path of deceit” refers to a lifestyle characterized by deceit and disloyalty to God. It stands in contrast to the “way of faithfulness” in v. 30.

¹⁵ tn Heb “be gracious to me.” The verb is used metonymically here for “graciously giving” the law. (See Gen 33:5, where Jacob uses this verb in describing how God had graciously given him children.)

¹⁶ tn The conjunction γάρ has not been translated here.

¹⁷ tn Grk “he drew back.” If ἑαυτόν (Jeauton) goes with both ὑπέστελλεν (Jupestellen) and ἀφώριζεν (afwrizen) rather than only the latter, the meaning would be “he drew himself back” (see BDAG 1041 s.v. ὑποστέλλω 1.a).

¹⁸ tn Or “and held himself aloof.”

¹⁹ tn Grk “the [ones] of the circumcision,” that is, the group of Jewish Christians who insisted on circumcision of Gentiles before they could become Christians.
