Exodus Exodus 20:22-22:17
"Eye for eye" is the most misread sentence in the Torah — not a license for revenge but a judicial ceiling that caps retaliation at the injury. And from that ceiling the case laws of the Book of the Covenant run forward to Christ: the wound-word lands on the Servant, the willing bondservant takes the form of a slave, and the thirty-shekel slave-price becomes the betrayal price of the Son.
Isaiah 53:4–6
Three ancient witnesses — the Masoretic Text, the Septuagint, and the Dead Sea Scrolls — preserve Isaiah's portrait of vicarious suffering. Where they agree and diverge reveals how ancient readers understood the cost of peace.
