Luke 15:22

15:22 But the father said to his slaves, ⁴  ‘Hurry! Bring the best robe, ⁵  and put it on him! Put a ring on his finger ⁶  and sandals ⁷  on his feet!

¹ tn The Hebrew text includes “on you.” This has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.

² tn The Hebrew text includes “from on your feet.”

³ tn The words “of your gates” have been supplied in the translation to clarify the referent of “bars.”

⁴ tn See the note on the word “slave” in 7:2.

⁵ sn With the instructions Hurry! Bring the best robe, there is a total acceptance of the younger son back into the home.

⁶ tn Grk “hand”; but χείρ (ceir) can refer to either the whole hand or any relevant part of it (L&N 8.30).

⁷ sn The need for sandals underlines the younger son’s previous destitution, because he was barefoot.
