The participle characterizes the Servant in His stricken condition rather than advancing the account with another finite verb.

The Hofal stem gives passive causative force, and the masculine singular participial form agrees with the Servant as the one acted upon.

The Servant within the observers' former conclusion that He was stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted

The contrast between the burdens the Servant truly carries and what the speakers once considered about His suffering

The Hofal participle depicts the masculine singular Servant as the recipient of a striking action within the speakers' reported assessment.

Passive-causative morphology does not independently validate the observers' interpretation, and the participle alone cannot specify why the Servant suffers.

High: The speakers once interpreted the Servant's suffering as a divine blow against Him, but the song redirects them to the infirmities and sins He bears for others.

The Hofal stem gives passive causative force, and the masculine singular participial form agrees with the Servant as the one acted upon.. The Hofal participle depicts the masculine singular Servant as the recipient of a striking action within the speakers' reported assessment.. Attached to the Servant within the observers' former conclusion that He was stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted. Governed by the contrast between the burdens the Servant truly carries and what the speakers once considered about His suffering. Passive-causative morphology does not independently validate the observers' interpretation, and the participle alone cannot specify why the Servant suffers.

How does the Hofal participle function inside the observers' statement? It portrays the Servant as one struck down, while the discourse signals that this was part of the speakers' earlier interpretation.

Direct: Struck down communicates the Servant's recipient role, while the surrounding words preserve whose assessment is being reported.

Hofal marks the subject as caused to receive an action, but the phrase and discourse must identify the agent and viewpoint. The participle can emphasize condition as well as event, so English should not force a narrow temporal sequence.

Passive morphology endorses the observers: Voice identifies the Servant as acted upon but does not certify the speakers' explanation of that action. participle supplies the atonement doctrine: The form describes His condition; verses 4 through 6 explain the representative meaning of His suffering. morphology replaces literary context: The H5221 form clarifies the struck down relation in Isaiah 53:4; the surrounding passage establishes its scope.

At Isaiah 53:4, the Isaiah 53:4 source token מֻכֵּ֥ה is H5221, V-Hofal-Prtcpl-msc. The H5221 Isaiah 53:4 BSB+ word table row therefore anchors this guide.

נָכָה is the lemma behind struck down here. Within Isaiah 53:4, H5221 retains this exact lexical identity.

The Hofal stem gives passive causative force, and the masculine singular participial form agrees with the Servant as the one acted upon.

The speakers once interpreted the Servant's suffering as a divine blow against Him, but the song redirects them to the infirmities and sins He bears for others.

Isaiah 53 exposes mistaken judgments about the suffering Servant before confessing the representative purpose of His wounds.

Keep the passive description inside we considered and then follow the correction into verse 5, where the speakers name their own transgressions and peace.

Do not treat Hofal as proof that the speakers understood the suffering correctly, and do not isolate by God from the confession that follows.
