Vulgate in Use: An Exegetical Approach

How does the Subject in Isaiah 53:7 act?

Abstract

This essay deals with the Fourth Servant Song in the book of Isaiah (Is 52:12 – 53:13), which, despite numerous detailed exegetic interpretations, still leaves many inquiries to the text unanswered. Considering the dense, poetic language of this text brings the verbs in their manifestations and meanings into focus, too. Through an analysis of the two introductory verbs in Isaiah 57:7, NGS and ?NH, in various text-traditions, an assessment of the subject's behavior and self-understanding is added.
