That's a mis-translation.
Psalm 22 actually says:

"For dogs have surrounded me, a pack of evil-doers has enclosed me,
Like the prey of a lion are my hands and my feet.
I can count all my bones, they look on me and gloat over me." (v. 17)

I have the original Hebrew text right in front of me (and I know how to read and understand it). The grammar is dense and subtle, to understand it requires years of study.

For just one example, " Asaper kol atzmoti" clearly has a first person prefix, therefore it is "I count all my bones", not *they*.
And "K-ari" clearly means "like... a lion"; there is nothing here about "pierced".

Please do not be misled by the distortions of the English translations from the Koine Greek Septuagint of the original Hebrew TaNaKh. Many of these are deliberately twisted in order to back-engineer J*sus into the "Old Testament".

If you could read the original text, you could see this for yourself. If you cannot, then please trust those of us who have studied the Hebrew text all our lives. That isn't what it says!...Show more
