Rashi cites Isaiah 38:13, in which translators uniformly render כָּאֲרִי as “like/as a lion”. The Masoretic Text points כָּאֲרִי as a phrase: the prefix כָּ denotes "like" or "as", and ארי "lion". A variant form of the word for lion ( אריה ) arie occurs twice in Psalm 22, in verses 13/14 and 21/22.
The original seven Dead Sea Scrolls from Cave 1 at Qumran are the Great Isaiah Scroll (1QIsa a), a second copy of Isaiah (1QIsa b), the Community Rule Scroll (1QS), the Pesher on Habakkuk (1QpHab), the War Scroll (1QM), the Thanksgiving Hymns (1QH), and the Genesis Apocryphon (1QapGen). [4]

(Matthew 3:17; Mark 1:11; Luke 3:22).

The servant songs (also called the servant poems or the Songs of the Suffering Servant) are four songs in the Book of Isaiah in the Hebrew Bible, which include Isaiah 42:1–4; Isaiah 49:1–6; Isaiah 50:4–11; and Isaiah 52:13–53:12. The songs are four poems written about a certain "servant of YHWH" (Hebrew: עבד יהוה, ‘eḇeḏ ...
Evans writes, "Accordingly, both the Great Isaiah Scroll of Qumran and the MT appear to view Isaiah 52:7-12 and 52:13-53:12 as two related units, perhaps with 52:7-12 introducing the hymn." [ 28 ] The Qumran community interpreted Isaiah 52:7 messianically (see below), which may have bearing on the servant's identity, if the passages are to be ...
