[Greek or Hebrew], Aaron and his sons did bear the sins of the people as types of Christ, not by an intrinsical guilt put on them, but by mere imputation, Lev. 16.22. And the Goat shall bear upon him all the iniquities of the children of Israel unto a Land not inhabited. The Priest prayed that the sins, that is, the punishment of the sins of the people might be laid on the Goat, Numb. 18.1. Aaron and his sons are to bear the iniquity of the Sanctuary, that is, the punishment of their iniquity, in that they were punished, if any of the Sanctuary polluted the holy things of God, Lev. 5.1. The witness who seeth and heareth a swearing, and doth not utter it, he shall bear his iniquity; that is, saith Vatablus, and all the interpreters, The punishment of his iniquity, Ezech. 18.19. Yet say ye Why doth not the Son bear the iniquity of the Father, ver. 20. The soul that sinneth shall die, the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father? Ezech. 23.35. Because thou hast forgotten me —bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredom: In the same very sense, Christ, ⟨p. 263⟩Heb. 9.28. was once offered to bear the sins of many, 1 Pet. 2.24. He did bear our sins on his body on the Tree, Isa. 53.12. He did bear the sins of many; he did bear heavy punishment, death and the wrath of God, for the sins of many: the word [Greek or Hebrew] Sabal, is to bear a burden as a Porter, v. 6. The Lord laid the iniquity of us all on him. Heb. [Greek or Hebrew] Hifgang, The word signifieth to fall on any with violence, and to kill him; as Gideon fell on the Princes of Midian, and ver. 7. He was oppressed, he was afflicted, yet opened he not his mouth. [Greek or Hebrew] Niggas its not in the Hebrew. [Greek or Hebrew] Niggash, per [Greek or Hebrew] Adductus oblatus. Arias Mont. readeth it [Greek or Hebrew] Niggas, with the point on the left side of [Greek or Hebrew] not [Greek or Hebrew]. So Cyrillus, and it is, he was exacted, or payment of violence sought of him: Pagnan, multatus, Christ was put to a fine, condemned to pay an amercement, or forfeit, or Christ was pursued as pay-master and surety for us: The Father pursued Christs band, that he should now at the appointed day, tell down the sum, the great ransom-money of his life for sinners who were broken men.
