This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
This thy son
Not my brother, but with the bitterest sarcasm.
Was come (ἦλθεν)
He says came, as of a stranger. Not returned.
Devoured (καταφαγών)
We say “eat up;” the Greek said “eat down” (κατά). The word is suggested, no doubt, by the mention of the calf, the kid, and the feasting.
