Berean Standard Bible
5But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.
The Pioneer Translation RenderingRendered from the original Hebrew
Isaiah 53:5
The Suffering Servant
Yet he was pierced through for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities. The discipline that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
The Hebrew *mĕḥolal* (from *ḥālal*) carries the primary meaning of pierced or wounded through — not merely "wounded" in a general sense but penetrated or run through; this sharper force is preserved here. *Mûsar* means discipline or chastisement in the sense of corrective punishment, not simply "punishment" as often rendered; the phrase reads literally "the discipline of our peace was upon him," meaning the corrective suffering that secured our wholeness (*shalom*) fell on him. *Ḥăburâh* means a stripe, bruise, or wound from a blow — rendered "wounds" to preserve the physical, bodily force of the image.
