Isaiah 53:12¶
Hebrew: לָכֵ֞ן אֲחַלֶּק־לֹ֣ו בָרַבִּ֗ים ... וְהוּא֙ חֵטְא־רַבִּ֣ים נָשָׂ֔א וְלַפֹּשְׁעִ֖ים יַפְגִּֽיעַ׃
| Hebrew | Lemma | Parsing | Gloss |
|---|---|---|---|
| נָשָׂ֔א | נשׂא (nasa) | Verb.Qal.Perf.3ms | lift/bear |
| יַפְגִּֽיעַ | פגע (paga) | Verb.Hiphil.Impf.3ms | meet/intercede |
| הֶעֱרָ֤ה | ערה | Verb.Hiphil.Perf.3ms | pour out |
| נִמְנָ֑ה | מנה | Verb.Niphal.Perf.3ms | count |
| חֵטְא | חטא | Noun.ms.Cst | offence/sin |
| פֹּשְׁעִ֖ים | פשׁע | Verb.Qal.Ptcp.mp.Abs | rebel/transgressor |
CRITICAL TENSE ANALYSIS: - nasa (H5375): Qal PERFECT 3ms — completed action — "he BORE the sin of many" - yaphgia (H6293): Hiphil IMPERFECT 3ms — ongoing/incomplete action — "he MAKES intercession for the transgressors" - The shift from perfective (completed bearing) to imperfective (continuing intercession) is grammatically deliberate and theologically significant - Additional perfects: heerah (poured out soul — completed), nimnah (was numbered — completed) - The entire verse: completed sacrifice (perfects) → ongoing intercession (imperfect)
Isaiah 59:16¶
Hebrew: וַיַּרְא֙ כִּֽי־אֵ֣ין אִ֔ישׁ וַיִּשְׁתֹּומֵ֖ם כִּ֣י אֵ֣ין מַפְגִּ֑יעַ
| Hebrew | Lemma | Parsing | Gloss |
|---|---|---|---|
| מַפְגִּ֑יעַ | פגע (paga) | Verb.Hiphil.Ptcp.ms.Abs | intercessor |
Key: maphgia = Hiphil Participle of paga — an active participle describing a person who intercedes. YHWH was appalled (yishtomem, Hithpael) that there was NO intercessor. His own arm (zero'o) brought salvation. This anticipates the Servant of Isa 53 who WILL be the intercessor.
Psalms 141:2¶
Hebrew: תִּכֹּ֤ון תְּפִלָּתִ֣י קְטֹ֣רֶת לְפָנֶ֑יךָ מַֽשְׂאַ֥ת כַּ֝פַּ֗י מִנְחַת־עָֽרֶב׃
| Hebrew | Lemma | Parsing | Gloss |
|---|---|---|---|
| תִּכֹּ֤ון | כון (kun) | Verb.Niphal.Impf.3fs | be firm/established |
| תְּפִלָּתִ֣י | תפלה (tephillah) | Noun.fs.Abs+1cs | prayer |
| קְטֹ֣רֶת | קטרת (qetoreth) | Noun.fs.Abs | incense/smoke of sacrifice |
| מַֽשְׂאַ֥ת | משׂאת (mas'eth) | Noun.fs.Cst | lifting up |
| כַּ֝פַּ֗י | כף (kaph) | Noun.fd.Abs+1cs | palm of hand |
| מִנְחַת | מנחה (minchah) | Noun.fs.Cst | grain/meal offering |
| עָֽרֶב | ערב (ereb) | Noun.ms.Abs | evening |
Key equations established: - Prayer (tephillah) = incense (qetoreth) — before God's face (lephaneykha) - Lifting of hands (mas'ath kapay) = evening offering (minchath ereb) - The prayer-as-incense metaphor is embedded in Hebrew poetry, not just an NT invention
Exodus 30:7-8¶
v.7: וְהִקְטִ֥יר עָלָ֛יו אַהֲרֹ֖ן קְטֹ֣רֶת סַמִּ֑ים בַּבֹּ֣קֶר בַּבֹּ֗קֶר
| Hebrew | Lemma | Parsing | Gloss |
|---|---|---|---|
| הִקְטִ֥יר | קטר (qatar) | Verb.Hiphil.Perf.3ms | burn incense |
| קְטֹ֣רֶת | קטרת (qetoreth) | Noun.fs.Cst | incense |
| סַמִּ֑ים | סם (sam) | Noun.mp.Abs | perfume/spice |
v.8: קְטֹ֧רֶת תָּמִ֛יד לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָ֖ה לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶֽם
| Hebrew | Lemma | Parsing | Gloss |
|---|---|---|---|
| תָּמִ֛יד | תמיד (tamid) | Noun.ms.Abs | continuity/perpetual |
Key: qetoreth TAMID lipne YHWH — "perpetual incense before the LORD" — the incense service is characterized by tamid (unbroken continuity) and is performed lipne YHWH (before the face/presence of the LORD). This directly parallels Christ's ongoing appearing "in the presence of God for us" (Heb 9:24).
