Intercession
Rooted directly in Isaiah 53:12’s ‘yafgia’ (‘and made intercession for the transgressors’) - a strong textual anchor, but the identity of Isaiah 53’s suffering, interceding servant is itself one of the most long-disputed points in Jewish-Christian exegesis; mainstream Rabbinic tradition since Rashi generally reads the servant as collective Israel rather than an individual Messiah.
