Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Isaiah 53:10

Yet it pleased the Lord, &c.— "However, it pleased God that he should suffer, though God had another view in it than his murderers, even the salvation of mankind." Bishop Chandler reads, If he shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, which shall prolong their days, &c. The Vulgate, says he, renders it, videbit semen longaevum, in agreement with the LXX. and Chaldee. The Targum, supposing seed to be the nominative to the verb see, translates, His seed shall see the kingdom of the Messiah: they shall multiply and prolong their days. R. Alshek interprets seed, as above, by disciples; such as addict themselves to his religion who converted them; and thus it is used in the Jewish writings, for those who imitate the manners of their teacher. See Grotius and L'Empereur. The former clause may be read, Yet, &c. he mortally afflicted him; or he pained him even to death.
