How The Form Affects Interpretation

For expresses the causal force favored by the clause, even though min often has a basic from relationship. The Servant is cut off from the living and stricken in relation to the rebellion of the speaker's people, sharpening the representative contrast.

How To Communicate It

Show how for the transgression links the people's rebellion to the Servant's blow while preserving the distinction between offender and sufferer.

What Not To Say

  • Grammatical form should serve context, not override it.
  • Do not claim that min alone proves every feature of substitution or that the Servant becomes morally guilty of committing the transgression.
  • Min can mark source, separation, or cause; the stricken clause and personal object favor a causal reading here.
  • Read for the transgression within Isaiah 53:8 as this H6588 occurrence; broader theology requires the passage.

What The Form Does In This Verse

Attached To

The transgression of My people as the stated relation to the Servant's being stricken

Governed By

The clause explaining why the Servant was cut off and struck

Role In The Phrase

The prefixed min marks the people's transgression as the cause or ground connected with the blow falling on the Servant.

What It Is Not Doing

The phrase does not label the Servant himself a transgressor or transfer the people's moral agency to him.

How Much The Form Matters Here

Interpretive Weight

High: The Servant is cut off from the living and stricken in relation to the rebellion of the speaker's people, sharpening the representative contrast.

Syntax Profile

The min preposition is joined to a masculine singular noun, creating a causal or source relation within the stricken clause.. The prefixed min marks the people's transgression as the cause or ground connected with the blow falling on the Servant.. Attached to the transgression of My people as the stated relation to the Servant's being stricken. Governed by the clause explaining why the Servant was cut off and struck. The phrase does not label the Servant himself a transgressor or transfer the people's moral agency to him.

Reader Question

How does for the transgression connect the people's sin to the Servant's suffering? The min phrase presents their rebellion as the reason or ground associated with the blow that falls on him.

Translation Effect

Direct: For expresses the causal force favored by the clause, even though min often has a basic from relationship.

Where Caution Is Needed

Min can mark source, separation, or cause; the stricken clause and personal object favor a causal reading here. The singular transgression can collect the people's rebellion without implying only one isolated offense.

Fallacies To Avoid

One preposition proves a full doctrine: The causal link is meaningful, but representative or substitutionary synthesis must use the whole Servant song. bearing relation erases moral distinction: The people commit the transgression; the Servant is the one stricken in relation to it.
