Hands and Feet Pierced


PSALMS 22

16 For dogs have encompassed me; A company of evil-doers have inclosed me; Like a lion, they are at my hands and feet.
(Also see Zechariah 12:10)



ZECHARIAH 13

6 And one shall say unto him: 'What are these wounds between thy hands?' Then he shall answer: 'Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.'

FULFILLMENT

"And when they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified Him . . ."
Luke 23:33 (Also see John 20:25).

"Jesus was crucified in the usual Roman manner; the hands and feet were pierced by large dull spikes which attached the body to the wooden cross or stake."
Evidence that demands a verdict



The main objection to this phrase revolves around the word 'PIERCE'. In the Hebrew Massoretic text, in Psalm 22 the word 'caari which when translated from the Jewish Bible reads 'Like a lion' they are at my hands and my feet'. However in the 3rd century B.C.E. translation into Greek of The Septuagint ( the Hebrew Old Testament,) designated the word 'carri' as 'carru' which means 'to pierce.' This proves that 250 years before Jesus crucifiction, the Rabbis were translating this word as 'pierced'.
