Isaiah 53: How Do Jews Interprit It?

[MrZetterlund]

I’ve been looking at the controversy surrounding Isaiah 53 between Jews and Christians. I was wondering, how can this passage be talking about Israel? In verse eight, Isaiah writes “For the transgressions of My people (Israel) He (Israel?) was stricken.” Isn’t Israel usually depicted as a woman in prophecy?

Oh C’mon! Fourty-six views and no Jews!

If you want to ask Jews a question, it’s not a good idea to ask on Friday/Saturday.

These passages have been dealt with many times here, I suggest that you use the search facility.
