The Lamb of God #Messiah Texts Isaiah 53:3, 50:6

22. Chorus – Behold the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world. (John 1:29)
Where are the antecedents to this verse in Tanach? We will see one of them in a few days.

23. Air (mezzo-soprano) – He was despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.

נִבְזֶה֙ וַחֲדַ֣ל אִישִׁ֔ים אִ֥ישׁ מַכְאֹב֖וֹת וִיד֣וּעַ חֹ֑לִי
וּכְמַסְתֵּ֤ר פָּנִים֙ מִמֶּ֔נּוּ נִבְזֶ֖ה וְלֹ֥א חֲשַׁבְנֻֽהוּ
He is despised and set aside by everyone, a sorrowful person, one who knows illness,
like someone from whom we would hide our faces. He is despised and we did not consider him.

Isaiah 53:3 - a unique sequence of accents

He gave his back to the smiters, and his cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: he hid not his face from shame and spitting. 

גֵּוִי֙ נָתַ֣תִּי לְמַכִּ֔ים וּלְחָיַ֖י לְמֹֽרְטִ֑ים
פָּנַי֙ לֹ֣א הִסְתַּ֔רְתִּי מִכְּלִמּ֖וֹת וָרֹֽק
My body I have given to those who strike, and my cheeks to those who pare.
My face I did not hide from humiliation and spitting.

Isaiah 50:6
Ezekiel 7:24 has an identical sequence of accents.
Ezekiel 7:24

וְהֵֽבֵאתִי֙ רָעֵ֣י גוֹיִ֔ם וְיָרְשׁ֖וּ אֶת־בָּֽתֵּיהֶ֑ם
וְהִשְׁבַּתִּי֙ גְּא֣וֹן עַזִּ֔ים וְנִחֲל֖וּ מְקַֽדְשֵׁיהֶֽם
24 And I will bring the evils of nations and they will possess their houses,
and I will eradicate the pride of the strong and their holy things will be profaned.
