Salmi 22:18

18 Si spartiscono fra loro i miei vestimenti, E tranno la sorte sopra la mia vesta.

Salmi 22:18 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 22:18

They part my garments among them
Such as died the death of the cross were crucified naked ^F8, and their clothes were the perquisites of the executioners; there were four soldiers concerned in the crucifixion of Christ, and these parted his garments into four parts, and everyone took his part;

and cast lots on my vesture;
which was a seamless coat, wove from the top to the bottom; and therefore, not willing to rend it, they cast lots upon it who should have it; all this was exactly fulfilled in Christ, ( John 19:23 John 19:24 ) .

Salmi 22:18 In-Context

16 Perciocchè cani mi hanno circondato; Uno stuolo di maligni mi ha intorniato; Essi mi hanno forate le mani ed i piedi.

17 Io posso contar tutte le mie ossa; Essi mi riguardano, e mi considerano.

18 Si spartiscono fra loro i miei vestimenti, E tranno la sorte sopra la mia vesta.

19 Tu dunque, Signore, non allontanarti; Tu che sei la mia forza, affrettati a soccorrermi.

20 Riscuoti l’anima mia dalla spada, L’unica mia dalla branca del cane.
