beginnings of the structural arrangement of material, and record our first
note.
'My Servant' 'Extolled' nasa.
'My Righteous Servant' 'Bear' nasa.
We now observe that nations and kings are referred
to in 52:15, and we read of them being astonished at something totally
unexpected. We find something equally unexpected after the sorrow, the
humiliation and the meekness in 53:4 -10; division of the spoil with the
great and the strong, (53:12). These features, however, we kept in reserve,
while examining the remaining verses. We knew that the words 'The Lord hath
laid on Him the iniquity of us all' (53:6), and 'He made intercession for the
transgressors' (53:12) employed the same Hebrew word paga, and this is noted
in the first volume of The Berean Expositor (1909/10) in an article entitled
'Wondrous Meeting Places', where these passages are translated:
'The Lord hath made to meet on Him the iniquity of us all' and 'He bare
the sin of many, and made a meeting place for transgressors'.
We have now two focal pairs of correspondence:
A
Servant -- extolled -- nasa.
B
Meeting place -- paga.
A
Servant -- bear -- nasa.
B
Meeting place -- paga.
