Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his nefesh unto mavet (death); and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he nasah (bore) [like the Yom Kippur scapegoat] the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

He shall see of the travail of his nefesh, and shall be satisfied; by knowledge of him shall Tzadik Avdi (My Righteous Servant) justify many; for he shall bear their avon (iniquities).
