Well, IMHO, Paul explains what he means in 3.10, 13. I understand Paul to
be saying that Christ's death was the bearing of Torah's curse against
apostasy, and by bearing that curse, Israel is moved out from under the
bonded covenant of Moses. I've worked this up as an aspect of a forthcoming
essay, but you can find some of the material in my article here:
