Luke 15:25

Verse 25. His elder son] Meaning probably persons of a regular moral life, who needed no repentance in comparison of the prodigal already described.

In the field] Attending the concerns of the farm.

He heard music] συμφωνιας, a number of sounds mingled together, as in a concert.

Dancing.] χορων. But Le Clerc denies that the word means dancing at all, as it properly means a choir of singers. The symphony mentioned before may mean the musical instruments which accompanied. the choirs of singers.
