Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. When you make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed. He shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Yahweh shall prosper in his hand.

Allusion3
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
The Servant's life is made 'an offering for sin' (asham / LXX 'sin'), precisely the sacrificial-exchange logic of 'made him to be sin... so that we might become the righteousness of God.' The sin-offering wording and the resulting vindication of 'the many' give high volume and coherence.
High confidenceThe Servant who makes himself 'an offering for sin' and 'gave himself up' undergirds the self-surrender Christology of 'gave himself up for us.' Coherence with the sacrificial/atonement frame is high; medium because the verbal tie runs through the wider Servant tradition rather than a single lemma.
Medium confidenceThe self-giving sin-offering ('when you make his soul an offering for sin') undergirds 'gave himself for our sins.' Coheres with Isa 53:6 as a Servant matrix Paul presupposes; counted distinctly because the offering-language adds the cultic note. Contested only as to which Servant verse is primary.
Medium confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'This is my body which is given for you' coheres with the Servant whose life is made 'an offering for sin,' framing Jesus' self-gift as sacrificial. The 'given for' language overlaps the Servant's self-offering, reinforcing the Isaianic atonement subtext of the meal.
Medium confidence◇ Figural1
A typological pattern re-read in a later text — no verbal quotation, high figural coherence.
Carrying 'the putting to death of Jesus' so that 'life may be revealed' loosely figures the Servant whose death yields life and offspring. The contact is thematic and contested, with no verbal tether, hence figural and low.
