Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 50:6

Theological / Devotional

My back. The prediction of v. 6 was fulfilled in the scourging of Jesus (Mark 15:15).

Plucked off the hair. The NT does not record this of Jesus at His trial. To pluck off the hair was considered by the Jews an extreme insult (see Ezra 9:3; Neh. 13:25). Instead of lemortim, “to them that plucked off the hair,” Dead Sea scroll 1QIs reads lemotlim, “to them that slap.” This is also the reading of the LXX.

My face. See Mark 14:65 ; 15:19.
