“From the Chaldee paraphrase of the Bible by Jonathan Ben Uziel,”

Hahahaha...oh I always love it when Christians run to the Targums or Talmud for support. You have no idea what you are even quoting do you...

This is Midrash...which has NOTHING to do with the P’shat or the literal meaning of the text. Christians always blunder into this mistake. A) They have no idea what the difference between Midrash and Peshat is, and B) They make the two equivalent. Well, here is the deal. Peshat is Primary...Midrash (commentary or homiletics) NEVER overturn Peshat or the plain meaning of the text.

Again, I have seen it all before...no need to post more Christian cherry picked out of context midrashim that you have no idea what it means anyway.

I specifically called it a paraphrase, so I’m not sure what it is you are hallucinating about. You directed me to the “true understanding of Isaiah 53” from Jewish sources, presumably because you cannot explain them yourself. So I showed you previous Jewish understanding of Isaiah 53 and the servant. I even gave you links so you could look at the full context and the source. And I can produce more.

You still haven’t addressed much of anything I’ve said, except for going on wild goose chases of random things here or there.
