The Suffering Servant
Yet Jehovah was pleased to crush him, making him sick. If his life is made a guilt offering, he will see offspring, he will lengthen days, and the pleasure of Jehovah will succeed in his hand.
*Nephesh* (נַפְשׁוֹ) is rendered "his life" rather than "his soul," following the Pioneer Translation's consistent rendering of this word as life or being. *Asham* (אָשָׁם) is translated "guilt offering," its precise sacrificial meaning in Levitical law — a specific category of atoning sacrifice, not a general term for sin. *Daka* (דַּכְּאוֹ) is translated "crush," preserving the violent physical force of the verb, which tradition has sometimes softened.
