Re: Psalm 22:17, Hebrew Text, "Like A Lion". Who's Lion?

To answer your question, the Torah, especially eg in Deuteronomy 28, had the idea that Israel's status could change in guilt and sinfulness. So in David's time, 1000 bc, the Psalm in the place you checked in bold spoke highly of the Israelites, as they were about to build the temple. but the "...

Joseph Benson (1749–1821) was an early English Methodist minister, Benson was a Methodist non-Jewish non-Catholic non-Lutheran minister writing his own ideas c.3000+ years after the text was written. Do you consider him a trustworthy commentator on the scriptures? I don't consider him a strong auth...

Re: Psalm 22:17, Hebrew Text, "Like A Lion". Who's Lion?

Re: Psalm 22:17, Hebrew Text, "Like A Lion". Who's Lion?

It does not say "when he acknowledges his own guilt". After all, the passage says that he was suffering for others not for his own sins. Verse 9 says no lawless violence or lies were found in him. So Isaiah 53 definitely cannot about the "honest" "law-abiding" Servant ...

Re: Psalm 22:17, Hebrew Text, "Like A Lion". Who's Lion?

So the plain reading is: 1. Moses asks to "make atonement for their sin" 2. Moses gave God an option: EITHER A) forgive their sin OR B) God still holds the sins against them and blots Moses out. If Moses gets blotted out, it means he undergoes punishment. And what is the punishment for in...

Exodus 17:14 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write this in a book as a memorial and recite it to Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven." Deuteronomy 29:20 "The LORD shall never be willing to forgive him, but rather the anger of the LORD and His jea...

Re: Psalm 22:17, Hebrew Text, "Like A Lion". Who's Lion?

Yet you have rejected us and abased us, and have not gone out with our armies. You made us turn back from the foe, and our enemies have gotten spoil. You have made us like sheep for slaughter, and have scattered us among the nations. You have sold your people for a trifle, demanding no high price f...

Re: Psalm 22:17, Hebrew Text, "Like A Lion". Who's Lion?

"Moses is a good example, where he wanted to act as an "atonement" for people's sins, but he had spiritual problems and God said No. In Isaiah 53 however, it does teach that the Servant would serve as a "guilt offering", even though the Torah bans Israelites from committing ...
