Footnotes
Isa. 53:5 | Strong's #2490 חלל chalal. to perforate, pierce through, lay open, profane, desecrate. The Hebrew word מחלל (mechalel) comes from this root and can have both active and passive meanings: (1) In the piel (active), מחלל means "he who profanes" or "he who desecrates," as seen in Leviticus 19:12: ולא תחלל את-שם אלוהיך "And you are/she is not profaning the self eternal name of the God/Mighty Ones of yourself" (2) In the pual (passive), the meaning shifts to "he who is profaned" or "he who is desecrated" With varied meanings like this, grammatical context usually plays an important role. מחלל מ פשע נו Nearly all translations thus far change the preposition -מ "from" to a "for/because of" because the true to text translation would be "he who is pierced/bore through from the rebellions/revolts of ourselves..." and this does not make much sense semantically. Make no mistake about it, there is no "for" or "because of" in this text. But the alternate meaning is also true the text, and makes more semantical sense: "he who is profaned/desecrated from the rebellions of ourselves..." Transgression [פשע pasha] is a word that has come to take on a sense of "crossing boundaries" or "breaking rules" But that is not at all the meaning of the word . While a "boundary" might imply a physical or metaphorical limit, פשע is more about the attitude behind the act—rebellion, defiance, or wilful disobedience. (cf. Strong's #6588)

Isa. 53:5 | The Hebrew verb חבר (chabar) primarily means "to join" or "to bind together," conveying the idea of forming a connection or alliance. This term is used in various contexts, including the joining of physical objects, the uniting of people in friendship or alliance, etc. In its root form, it can imply both a physical and metaphorical connection, whether literal (such as the binding of objects) or relational (such as the forming of alliances). The feminine noun derived from this verb, חבורה (chabburah), Strong's 2250, translates to "bound together," "allied," or "association." However, this term also carries an additional nuance: it can imply a bruise or wound. This secondary meaning perhaps stems from the idea of being physically "bound" together in a manner that causes injury as Strong's Lexicon notes: "from chabar; properly, bound (with stripes)" The primary sense however is of connection or alliance, if indeed it can refer to a physical mark or injury that results from "a binding or impact." Other more concrete words for "wound" exist in Hebrew (for example, petza Strong's #6482). Chabburah is only found seven times. |
Isa. 53:5 | Hebrew נרפא לנו To translate this as "we are healed" is to erase the preposition and possesive לנו meaning "to/for us" since "we are healed to ourselves" makes no sense. But to retain it means recognizing נרפא in the Qal active, understanding that the preposition ל is working as an accusative, which is a standard function of it in Biblical Hebrew. |
