The writer speaks of himself as if he were not part of his own family. Alternate translation: "My brothers no longer know or accept me at all" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# a stranger to my brothers ... an alien to my mother's children

It is implied that "I have become" should be understood here. The writer speaks of himself as if he were not part of his own family. Alternate translation: "my brothers no longer know or trust me at all" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
