יִרְאֶ֥ה (yir·’eh) in Isaiah 53:10
Source Word
At Isaiah 53:10, the Isaiah 53:10 source token יִרְאֶ֥ה is H7200, V-Qal-Imperf-3ms. The H7200 Isaiah 53:10 BSB+ word table row therefore anchors this guide.
How The Form Affects Interpretation
Will see expresses the forward-looking imperfect in the verse's outcome sequence while leaving offspring to the following object. The Servant's suffering is not the end of the song's account: He will behold offspring, have prolonged days, and carry forward the Lord's good pleasure.
How To Communicate It
Keep the verb with all three outcomes in verse 10, allowing the passage to raise the question of life beyond suffering without asking morphology to answer it alone.
What Not To Say
- Grammatical form should serve context, not override it.
- Do not define offspring as biological descendants from the verb see, and do not claim that imperfect aspect by itself establishes the manner of vindication.
- Seeing may denote literal sight or experienced enjoyment, and the clause's outcome force matters more than choosing a narrow sense too quickly.
- Read He will see within Isaiah 53:10 as the H7200 occurrence; broader theology requires the passage.

What The Form Does In This Verse
His offspring as the object in the outcome sequence following the Servant's life being made a guilt offering
The turn from the Lord's will concerning the Servant's suffering to prolonged days and prospering divine pleasure
The Qal imperfect presents the masculine singular Servant as the one who will see offspring within the verse's promised future outcomes.
The verb of seeing does not itself define offspring or explain how the Servant sees after suffering, and imperfect morphology alone does not prove resurrection.
How Much The Form Matters Here
High: The Servant's suffering is not the end of the song's account: He will behold offspring, have prolonged days, and carry forward the Lord's good pleasure.
The third masculine singular Qal verb agrees with the Servant, and the imperfect looks ahead within a coordinated result sequence.. The Qal imperfect presents the masculine singular Servant as the one who will see offspring within the verse's promised future outcomes.. Attached to His offspring as the object in the outcome sequence following the Servant's life being made a guilt offering. Governed by the turn from the Lord's will concerning the Servant's suffering to prolonged days and prospering divine pleasure. The verb of seeing does not itself define offspring or explain how the Servant sees after suffering, and imperfect morphology alone does not prove resurrection.
Who is the subject of He will see, and what follows as its object? The Servant is the singular subject, and His offspring are what He is promised to see after the guilt-offering statement.
Direct: Will see expresses the forward-looking imperfect in the verse's outcome sequence while leaving offspring to the following object.
Seeing may denote literal sight or experienced enjoyment, and the clause's outcome force matters more than choosing a narrow sense too quickly. The continuation after suffering supports vindication, but the wider passage and canon are required to articulate resurrection fully.
See offspring means biological fatherhood: The verb does not define the offspring relationship; the Servant Song's corporate and saving context must guide it. imperfect alone proves resurrection: Aspect marks the anticipated event, while resurrection doctrine rests on the passage's total pattern and wider Scripture. morphology replaces literary context: The H7200 form clarifies the He will see relation in Isaiah 53:10; the surrounding passage establishes its scope.
