Kommentar zu Jeschijahu 53:3
נִבְזֶה֙ וַחֲדַ֣ל אִישִׁ֔ים אִ֥ישׁ מַכְאֹב֖וֹת וִיד֣וּעַ חֹ֑לִי וּכְמַסְתֵּ֤ר פָּנִים֙ מִמֶּ֔נּוּ נִבְזֶ֖ה וְלֹ֥א חֲשַׁבְנֻֽהוּ׃
Verachtet und gemieden von Menschen, ein Mann der Schmerzen, von Leiden heimgesucht und so geschaffen, dass man vor ihm [vor Ekel] das Antlitz verhüllte, wir verachteten und hielten ihn für nichts.
Rashi on Isaiah
Despised and rejected by men was he. So is the custom of this prophet: he mentions all Israel as one man, e.g., (44:2), “Fear not, My servant Jacob”; (44:1) “And now, hearken, Jacob, My servant.” Here too (52:13), “Behold My servant shall prosper,” he said concerning the house of Jacob. יַשְׂכִּיל is an expression of prosperity. Comp. (I Sam. 18:14) “And David was successful (מַשְׂכִּיל) in all his ways.”

and as one who hides his face from us Because of their intense shame and humility, they were as one who hides his face from us, with their faces bound up in concealment, in order that we not see them, like a plagued man who hides his face and is afraid to look.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
And we hid, as it were, our faces from him. Even in our days there are people who turn aside at the sight of a Jew, lest they may be obliged to assist him.
