21. Rabbi Eliyyah de Vidas, writing from the latter half of the 16th century, stated:
…and this is that which is written, But he was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, the meaning of which is that since the Messiah bears our iniquities which produce the effect of his being bruised, it follows that whoso will not admit that the Messiah thus suffers for our iniquities, must endure and suffer for them himself.[24]
We don't need at all to go to other Rabbis or those with Christian preconceived notions. The right interpretation is given by the own author of the book aka Isaiah who gives the right interpretation about whom he is talking about. He said that the Messiah born our iniquities aka those of Judah as Isaiah who was himself a Judahite.
Here, Rabbi de Vidas applies Isaiah 53:5 to the Messiah. By stating, “Since the Messiah bears our iniquities,” Rabbi de Vidas appears to assume that this was common knowledge (i.e. the dominant view). He goes on to state that anyone who refuses to admit (i.e. believe, accept, and possibly confess) that the Messiah would bear our iniquities, must suffer for his or her own sins. (Sobering, yes?)
