28:24The one who robs67 his father and mother and says, “There is no transgression,”
Footnotes
- 67 While the expression is general enough to cover any kind of robbery, the point seems to be that because it can be rationalized it may refer to prematurely trying to gain control of the family property through some form of pressure and in the process reducing the parents’ possessions and standing in the community. The culprit could claim what he does is not wrong because the estate would be his anyway.
- 68 The metaphor of “companion” here means that a person who would do this is just like the criminally destructive person. It is as if they were working together, for the results are the same.
- 69 Heb “man who destroys” (so ); “no better than a common thief.”
