What is the significance of the robe, ring & sandals in Luke 15:22?
‘But the father said to his servants, “Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. — NIVUK
I know that, by giving those gifts, the father distinguished his son from the servants. (The son had said he no longer deserved to be called a son (v21) and so these gifts showed that he was still a son to his father (e.g. the servants probably did not wear sandals).)
But did each gift have a particular significance to Jesus’ varied audience (v1-2)? And / or did the number of gifts (three) have any meaning?
