The Suffering Servant
Therefore I will give him a portion among the many, and with the mighty he will divide the spoil — because he poured out his being to death, and was numbered among the transgressors, and he bore the sin of the many, and for the transgressors he intercedes.
*Napšô* (נַפְשׁוֹ) is rendered "his being" rather than "his soul," consistent with the PT treatment of *nephesh* as referring to the whole living self. *He'erâ* (הֶעֱרָה) carries the sense of pouring out or laying bare — his entire being was exposed and surrendered to death, not merely his body. *Yapgîa'* (יַפְגִּיעַ) is rendered "intercedes," reflecting its primary meaning of making entreaty or intervention on behalf of another — this same root appears in verse 6, where it describes burden being *laid upon* him, but here the direction is reversed: he now acts on behalf of the transgressors.
