Psalms 22:16. Unity of Scripture Commentary

Here is an example of unity of scripture. You have three witnesses, Psalms, Isaiah, and Zechariah.

Psalms 22:16. Dogs have surrounded me;
a band of evil men has encircled me,
they have pierced my hands and my feet.

Isaiah 53:5. But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.

Zechariah 12:10. "And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced,

In the Dead Sea Scrolls.
It is very unfortunate that in the Dead Sea Scrolls, in that very place, the letter could not be read; because it was damaged in that very place. Since this scrap is dated (in accordance with the style of letters used) in 5068 CE, it is almost 1000 years earlier than the Masoretic text, and shows that in at least one of the earliest Hebrew traditions of Psalm 22, the word is not “like a lion” but they “pierced.”

The scrap from Psalm 22 found at Nachal Hever is what makes the Orthodox translation suspect of corruption.

The scroll fragment is a Pre-Christian era Hebrew. It is not disputed by scholars. There has been hanky panky on both sides of the fence, causing Gods word to be profaned by those who do not believe.

I would question?

Lions like dogs (unclean) are piercing agents they represent the ceremonial unclean, not redeemed by a lamb.

It shows the sufferings work of two. One seen the temporal and God not seen the eternal .

Another way to show two working empowered by the one not seen as a parable is sweat falling as if it was blood to show the work of the Holy Spirit striking the heel of the Son by whom wounds we are healed .

Dan is used to represent the Son of man Jesus. . saved from the mouth of the adversary the roaring lion redeemed by the father working from within the prophet.

Psalms 22:16 For dogs (lions) have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

Luke 22:44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

The pouring out of His Spirt on dying flesh

2 Samuel 1:23 Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.

Eagles ceremonial unclean also used in the same way birds of prey, flesh eaters.

Eccliastics 9:4 For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

Another example of the use of the word lion set forth in a parable

Judges 14: 14 And he said unto them, Out of the eater (lion) came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.
