How The Form Affects Interpretation

Punishment communicates the corrective or penal weight of the noun in this suffering-and-peace relation. The community's peace is tied to punishment resting upon the Servant, continuing the exchange between his suffering and their need.

How To Communicate It

Keep punishment, upon Him, and our peace together so the noun is neither softened nor made evidence of his personal guilt.

What Not To Say

  • Grammatical form should serve context, not override it.
  • Do not infer that God corrects sin in the Servant or let the noun alone define an exhaustive atonement model.
  • The noun can mean discipline, correction, or punishment; the wounds, crushing, and resulting peace support a weighty penal sense.
  • Read the punishment within Isaiah 53:5 as this H4148 occurrence; broader theology requires the passage.
