Isaiah 53:10 Summary

Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 53:10

Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him,.... The sufferings of Christ are signified by his being "bruised"; [See comments on Isaiah 53:5], and as it was foretold he should have his heel bruised by the

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 53:10

Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 53:10

Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; but although he was perfectly innocent, it pleased God for other just and wise reasons to punish him. He hath put him to grief; God was the principal Cause of all his sorrows and sufferings, although men’ s sins were the deserving cause. When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin; when thou, O God, shalt make, or have made, thy Son a sacrifice, by giving him up to death for the atonement of men’ s sins. His soul is here put for his life, or for himself, or his whole human nature, which was sacrificed; his soul being tormented with the sense of God’ s wrath, and his body crucified, and soul and body separated by death. Or the words may be rendered, when his soul shall make, or have made, itself an offering for sin; whereby it may be implied that he did not lay down his life by force, but willingly. He shall see his seed; his death shall be glorious to himself, and highly beneficial to others; for he shall have a numerous issue of believers reconciled to God, and saved by his death. He shall prolong his days; he shall be raised to immortal life, and shall live and reign with God for ever; he shall die no more, Romans 6 9, and of his kingdom there shall be no end, . The pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand; God’ s gracious decree for the redemption and salvation of mankind shall be effectually carried on by his ministry and mediation.

Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 53:10

Isaiah 53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put [him] to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong [his] days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.Ver. 10. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him.] Singula verba hie expendenda sunt cum emphasi, saith one. Here every word hath its weight, and it is very sure that the apostles and evangelists, in describing the mysteries of our salvation, have great respect as to this whole chapter of Isaiah, so especially to these three last verses. And it must needs be that the prophet, when he wrote these things, was indued with a very great Spirit; because herein he so clearly setteth forth the Lord Christ in his twofold estate of humiliation and of exaltation, that whereas other oracles of the Old Testament borrow light from the New, this chapter lendeth light to the New in several places. He hath put him to grief.] Or, He suffered him to be put to pain. See Acts 2:23; Acts 4:28. God the Father had a main hand in his Son’ s sufferings, and that out of his free mercy, for the good of many. When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin.] Compare 2 Corinthians 5:20, "He made him sin for us that knew no sin." Our sins were laid upon him, as the sins of him that sacrificed were laid upon the beast; which was thereby made the sinner, as it were, and the man righteous. Christ’ s soul suffered also. It was undequaque tristis, surrounded with sorrows, and heavy as heart could hold. This sacrifice of his was truly expiatory and satisfactory. Compare Hebrews 10:1-2. He shall see his seed.] Bring many sons to God, a holy seed, the Church of the New Testament to the end of the world, filiabitur nomine eius. The name of Christ shall endure for ever; it shall be begotten as one generation is begotten of another. There shall be a succession of Christ’ s name, till time shall be no more. And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.] He came to send fire on the earth, which while he lived upon earth was already kindled. This some interpret as the gospel, which how wonderfully it spread and prospered, the evangelical and ecclesiastical histories testify. Hyper. Parit dum perit, et perit dum parit. - Phaenicis aenigma.

Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 53:10

(10) Yet it pleased the Lord . . .—The sufferings of the Servant are referred not to chance or fate, or even the wickedness of his persecutors, but to the absolute “good-pleasure” of the Father, manifesting itself in its fullest measure in the hour of apparent failure. (Comp. Psalms 22:15.) When thou shalt make . . .—Better, if his soul shall make a trespass offering, he will see his seed; he will prolong his days . . . The sacrificial character of the death of the Servant is distinctly defined. It is a “trespass offering” (Leviticus 6:6; Leviticus 6:17; Leviticus 14:12), an expiation for the sins of the people. The words declare that such a sacrifice was the condition of spiritual parentage (Psalms 22:30), of the immortality of influence, of eternal life with God, of accomplishing the work which the Father had given him to do (John 17:4). The “trespass offering” was, it must be remembered, distinct from the “sin offering,” though both belonged to the same sacrificial group (Leviticus 5:15; Leviticus 7:1-7), the distinctive element in the former being that the man who confessed his guilt, voluntary or involuntary, paid his shekels, according to the judgment of the priest, and offered a ram, the blood of which was sprinkled upon the altar. It involved, that is, the idea not of an atonement only, but of a satisfaction, according to the nature of the sin.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 53:10

Verse 10. To grief - "With affliction"] For החלי hecheli, the verb, the construction of which seems to be hard and inelegant in this place, the Vulgate reads בחלי bocholi, in infirmitate, "with infirmity." When thou shalt make his soul - "If his soul shall make"] For תשים tasim, a MS. has תשם tasem, which may be taken passively, "If his soul shall be made - "agreeably to some copies of the Septuagint, which have δωται. See likewise the Syriac. When thou shalt make his soul an offering] The word נפש nephesh, soul, is frequently used in Hebrew to signify life. Throughout the New Testament the salvation of men is uniformly attributed to the death of Christ. He shall see his seed] True converts, genuine Christians. He shall prolong his days] Or this spiritual progeny shall prolong their days, i.e., Christianity shall endure to the end of time. And the pleasure of the Lord] To have all men saved and brought to the knowledge of the truth. Shall prosper in his hand.] Shall go on in a state of progressive prosperity; and so completely has this been thus far accomplished, that every succeeding century has witnessed more Christianity in the world than the preceding, or any former one.

Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 53:10

10–12. These difficult verses describe, partly in the prophet’s own words and partly in those of Jehovah, the Divine purpose which is realised through the sufferings of the Servant. In Isaiah 53:10-11 it is impossible to trace a clear connexion of ideas; the grammar also is peculiar, and in all probability there is considerable textual disorder. The main thought, however, is that the Servant is to be the instrument in establishing the true religion, by removing the burden of guilt and bringing many to righteousness. As the reward of his sufferings he will enjoy a brilliant future and have a numerous spiritual offspring. He will become a great power in the world, attaining a position like that of a mighty conqueror. The idea of a resurrection from the dead appears to be necessarily implied. If the Servant be a personification of Israel, this is merely a figure for national restoration from exile; but if he be an individual, then his resurrection must be accepted as a literal fact, just as his death must be literally understood.

Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 53:10

Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 53:10
