-
greet: Greeting others included expressing good wishes for their welfare and prosperity.
brothers: Refers to the entire nation of Israel. They were brothers, offspring of one common father, Jacob, and they were united in worship of the same God, Jehovah.—Ex 2:11; Ps 133:1.
people of the nations: Refers to non-Jews who had no relationship with God. The Jews viewed them as godless and unclean and as ones to be avoided.
