6We all like sheep have gone astray, each one has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all.
The Pioneer Translation RenderingRendered from the original Hebrew
Isaiah 53:6
The Suffering Servant
We all wandered like sheep, each turning to his own way, and Jehovah caused to fall on him the iniquity of us all.
The verb *hifgi'a* (הִפְגִּיעַ) is the hiphil causative form of *paga'*, meaning to cause something to strike, meet, or fall upon — here rendered "caused to fall on him" to preserve the causative force rather than the softer "laid on him" found in many conventional translations. *Ta'inu* (תָּעִינוּ) conveys active wandering or straying, reinforcing the sheep metaphor as a picture of deliberate misdirection rather than passive lostness. *Avon* (עֲוֺן) is rendered "iniquity" in its full sense of guilt and moral crookedness, not merely "sin" in its lighter modern usage.
