Isaiah 6:4

6:4 The sound of their voices shook the door frames, 1  and the temple was filled with smoke.

Isaiah 43:4

43:4 Since you are precious and special in my sight, 2 

and I love you,

I will hand over people in place of you,

nations in place of your life.

Isaiah 53:5

53:5 He was wounded because of 3  our rebellious deeds,

crushed because of our sins;

he endured punishment that made us well; 4 

because of his wounds we have been healed. 5 

1 tn On the phrase אַמּוֹת הַסִּפִּים (’ammot hassippim, “pivots of the frames”) see HALOT 763 s.v. סַף.

2 tn Heb “Since you are precious in my eyes and you are honored.”

3 tn The preposition מִן (min) has a causal sense (translated “because of”) here and in the following clause.

4 tn Heb “the punishment of our peace [was] on him.” שָׁלוֹם (shalom, “peace”) is here a genitive of result, i.e., “punishment that resulted in our peace.”

5 sn Continuing to utilize the imagery of physical illness, the group acknowledges that the servant’s willingness to carry their illnesses (v. 4) resulted in their being healed. Healing is a metaphor for forgiveness here.
