“Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
For the LORD GOD is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.” - Isaiah 12:2 NASB
I am quite familiar with this verse. Part of our prayers, in fact. But what is your point?
Those that are sinless don't need a savior.
Despite decades of Bible study, you have no concept at all of how the Hebrew language works.
Only in Christianity is the savior a way of "fixing" sin. It doesn't mean that in the Hebrew Bible.

Wrong. It doesn't say that in post-70 A.D. Judaism.
Clearly the writers of the Tanakh knew they needed salvation.
However, it became IMPOSSIBLE to obey God's prescribed procedures,
as enumerated in the Torah, as the TEMPLE ceased to exist.
It does not say that in the Hebrew Bible, outside of Christian interpretation. Salvation is not about sin.
I would differ with you. As early as Job, we have a "sacrifice for sin" in the sacrifice of animals. It could be argued that God covered the nakedness of Adam and Eve with the skins of sacrificed animals.
So, what is the solution to the problem of sinful man as opposed to a sinless God? (assuming that sin even exists in your theology).
Salvation IS about sin. Saving us from the sin debt, so we could be reconciled back with the Father.It does not say that in the Hebrew Bible, outside of Christian interpretation. Salvation is not about sin.
