(Post #1) Ransom Payment


ISAIAH 53:10 “But Jehovah pleased [as His desired will] to crush him, to make him sick [inundated and beleaguered], if he shall put his soul a guilt offering [a ransom payment- for the sins of the nation], he shall see seed [for with his blood he shall purchase men for God to be a kingdom and priest to serve our God], he shall prolong days [of the dispersion] and the pleasure [the desired will] of Jehovah in his hand shall prosper.”


Jamieson, Fausset, Brown Commentary.- “It was exacted, and he was made answerable,” to have payment of a debt sternly exacted, so to be oppressed in general; the exactment of the full penalty, [making himself answerable as a guilt offering] for our sins, and he was afflicted and suffered submissively. “As a lamb to the slaughter he was led; and as an [innocent] ewe before her shearers is dumb, so he opens not his mouth [but voicelessly endured].”
