Why this writer included the 8 th and 11 th verses of this chapter in his reference ^ is difficult to conceive , there being nothing in them that ^ relates to the subject . It only remains therefore to take notice of his reference to the 1 * 2 th verse in which the only important phrase to be explained is * "He bare the sin of many . " So it is s . ai 4 in # tl * B * : ^ ew Testament that ' < Christ was once ofFer ^ ^ i ^^^ V ^ b ^ inq of many . " Bearing of sin does ^ % ^ 0 ^^^^ . ^ 0 p ^^ ' it suffering , or death , bearing % ^^^^^^ 0 ^^ W ' sm ' 9 or making an atonement or satisfapltibiV ^ p ^ ' iEbr sin : The
Hebrew word ., n& > 3 rendered bear signifies to take away , carry off \ remove , &c . Any means therefore appointed for the remission of sins , is said to bear or take it away .
