876 B

Yahweh continues describing his servant.

Therefore will I give him his portion among the multitudes, and he will divide the spoils with the many

This refers to a king after a victorious battle sharing the plunder or rewards with his army. This means God will greatly honor his servant because of his sacrifice. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

because he exposed his life to death

AT: "he willingly risked death" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche)

and was numbered with the transgressors

AT: "and allowed people to treat him as a criminal" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)

He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors

The word "intercession" here means the servant pleaded or prayed to Yahweh on behalf of sinners.
