_And they shall look upon me whom they have pierced._
Blayney considers the אלי (or ילא), as simply a preposition, not a
compound of אל with the affix pronoun י, the antecedent to אשר (or רשא),
being understood, and renders the passage thus, _They shall look towards
him whom they pierced._
The Jew argues from the change of person, that our version cannot be
right, and he renders it, _They shall look to me concerning him whom they
pierced._
In whatever way the passage be rendered, no doubt can remain in the mind
of the Christian that Christ, who was pierced, is the person here alluded
to; and this is the only point material to the present exposition. That
the Jew should admit this, is not to be expected.
