He bare the sin of many - rabbim , the multitudes, the many that were made sinners by the offenses of one; i.e., the whole human race; for all have sinned - all have fallen; and for all that have sinned, and for all that have fallen, Jesus Christ died. The rabbim of the prophet answers to the ̔ , of the apostle, Romans 5:15, Romans 5:19. As the of the apostle means all that have sinned; so the rabbim of the prophet means those for whom Christ died; i.e., all that have sinned.
And made intercession for the transgressors - For yaphgia , in the future, a MS. has hiphgia , preterite, rather better, as agreeable with the other verbs immediately preceding in the sentence.
