Schipper uses the imagery of the Passover lamb from the Exodus to connect the same type of imagery in Isaiah 53 to Jesus (Schipper, 2013) Although there were many sacrifices during this period, there were few who could connect the lambs to the servant. Schipper agrees with Walther Zimmerli's theories that the scapegoat ritual mentioned in Leviticus 16 (Schipper, 2013), where “the priest will lay his hands on the head of a live goat and “confess upon it all the iniquities of the people of Israel, and all their transgressions, all their sins, putting them on the head of the goat and sending it away into the wilderness (kingjamesbibleonline.com).” While some interesting points are made here, it seems to be a somewhat far-fetched idea.
