1. ...for the transgression of my people he was stricken.
2. ...for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due.
I lean toward option 1 mainly on the basis of parallelism with the preceding
clause and I take it as governed by the niphal perfect nigzar and the
singular suffix of lamo.
There is a bit of a difference in meaning in that option 2 expressly says
something about the people whereas option 1 focuses on the person leaving
conclusions about the people to inference.
Ideas?
