Mitch, I'm curious: do you adopt Gretchen's view because it agreed with the one you had already, or because it suits your own leaning? Back to 53, verse 6: "All we like sheep have gone astray . . " Your (and Gretchen's) claim is that the Gentile world is speaking. Why did Isaiah choose an animal that is the essence of kosher -- sheep -- to speak for the Gentiles? Gentiles (especially hostile) were anything but sheep (or clean) in the mind of the Jew. If he meant for the reader to understand that Gentiles are speaking, then would not "All we like goats (or swine) have gone astray. . ." have been a better and clearer choice? One more point and question, if I may: Your strong claim is that 52 leads into 53 without changing the reference. Care to use the same procedure with Isaiah 10 into 11? Plenty of similarities in them to 52-53. Stan
