Colossians 2:21
_ _ Compare Colossians 2:16, “meat ... drink.” He gives instances of the “ordinances” (Colossians 2:20) in the words of their imposers. There is an ascending climax of superstitious prohibitions. The first Greek word (hapse) is distinguished from the third (thiges), in that the former means close contact and retention: the latter, momentary contact (compare 1 Corinthians 7:1; John 20:17, Greek, “Hold me not”; cling not to me”). Translate, “Handle not, neither taste, nor even touch.” The three refer to meats. “Handle not” (a stronger term than “nor even touch”), “nor taste” with the tongue, “nor even touch,” however slight the contact. |
Colossians 2:21
Touch not — An unclean thing. Taste not — Any forbidden meat. Handle not — Any consecrated vessel. |
