This is a continuing look into Psalm 22 as the music in Jesus’ heart as He endured the cross.

Psalm 21:18 (Elpenor English) |
| I may tell (אֲסַפֵּ֥ר) all my bones: they look and stare upon me. | I can count (sāp̄ar, אספר) all my bones; my enemies are gloating over me in triumph. | I counted (ἐξηρίθμησα) all my bones, but they took note and observed me; | They counted (ἐξηρίθμησαν) all my bones; and they observed and looked upon me. |
In the Tanakh and KJV אֲסַפֵּ֥ר was translated I may tell. It was translated I can count in the NET. It can mean both. Consider the first occurrences of forms of סָפַר in the KJV translation (Genesis 15:5 KJV):
And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell (sāp̄ar, וספר) the stars, if thou be able to number (sāp̄ar, לספר) them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
I’m not sure what the translators thought Abraham should tell the stars. Rashi’s commentary on Psalm 22:17 (22:18) read:
I tell about all my bones: The pain of my bones.
I could understand better if the Lord told Abraham to tell [about] the stars, especially their great number. But the KJV translation of Genesis 15:5 was unique among the Bible versions I use.

Genesis 15:5 (English Elpenor) |
| And He brought him forth abroad, and said: ‘Look now toward heaven, and count (וּסְפֹר֙) the stars, if thou be able to count (לִסְפֹּ֣ר) them’; and He said unto him: ‘So shall thy seed be.’ | The Lord took him outside and said, “Gaze into the sky and count (sāp̄ar, וספר) the stars—if you are able to count (sāp̄ar, לספר) them!” Then he said to him, “So will your descendants be.” | Then he brought him outside and said to him, “Look up to the sky, and number (ἀρίθμησον) the stars, if you will be able to count (ἐξαριθμῆσαι) them.” And he said, “So shall your offspring be.” | And he brought him out and said to him, Look up now to heaven, and count (ἀρίθμησον) the stars, if thou shalt be able to number (ἐξαριθμῆσαι) them fully, and he said, Thus shall thy seed be. |
The relationship between count, number and tell is perhaps easiest to understand when Abraham’s servant returned and recounted to Isaak all the matters (τὰ ῥήματα) that he had carried out.[1]

| Genesis 24:66 (Tanakh/KJV) | Genesis 24:66 (NET) | Genesis 24:66 (NETS) |
Genesis 24:66 (English Elpenor) |
| And the servant told (וַיְסַפֵּ֥ר) Isaac all the things that he had done. | The servant told (sāp̄ar, ויספר) Isaac everything that had happened. | And the servant recounted (διηγήσατο) to Isaak all the matters that he had carried out. | And the servant told (διηγήσατο) Isaac all that he had done. |
Abraham had commanded this servant: 1) You must not acquire a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am living.[2] 2) You must go instead to my country 3) and to my relatives 4) to find a wife for my son Isaac.[3] 5) Be careful never to take my son back there![4] In the NETS translation I can practically hear the servant recalling his master’s instructions (ῥήματα, a form of ῥῆμα; NETS: matters) one by one and recounting for Isaac all that he had done to fulfill them.
Exposure is the theme of Psalm 22:17 whether They counted (ἐξηρίθμησαν, a form of ἐξαριθμέω) all my bones (English Elpenor) or Jesus counted (ἐξηρίθμησα a form of ἐξαριθμέω) all [his own] bones (NETS), whether his bones look and stare upon him (Tanakh) or his enemies are gloating over [him] in triumph (NET). Rashi, too, understood “They look:” as “They rejoice at my misfortune” without specifying whether They were Jesus’ own bones mocking Him as they were stretched by hanging on a cross or the crowd standing around him.
None of the Gospel narratives cover these few moments of Jesus’ crucifixion in quite the cinematic detail of these two verses: For dogs have compassed me.[5] I can hear this as action description in a screenplay:
Jesus lies naked on his back on the cross. A knot of Roman soldiers surround him like a pack of wild dogs devouring their prey.
The assembly of the wicked have inclosed me.[6] Here we see the action from Jesus’ point-of-view.
Jesus sees the faces of his executioners as they fasten him to the cross: one is stoic, another perfunctory, one revels in the cruelty of his task as another winces at the pain of his victim.
They pierced my hands and my feet.[7]
Jesus’ hand spasms as a nail pierces his flesh between his ulna and radius just below the wrist.
He groans as a nail pins both of his feet, one on top of the other, through his insteps flat to the cross.
I may tell all my bones.[8]
As the soldiers raise the cross Jesus sees the bones of his arms as his body stretches, suspended by his nailed wrists.
They counted all my bones.[9]
As Jesus’ body rises above the heads of the soldiers, bystanders see his ribs pressed against his flesh as if his chest is about to burst.
They look and stare upon me.[10]
From his clawed hand to his radius, ulna and humerus wrenching his shoulders, from his rib cage to his pelvis twisting, the sagging flesh of his legs barely disguises his femur, tibia and fibula.
His bloodied toes arch back as he presses upward on the spike impaling his feet, seeking a moment’s relief from the ache of his arms and shoulders.
Jesus, staring down at the agony of his own body, lifts his eyes.
And they observed and looked upon me.[11]
Every writhing and twisting, every twitch and flutter, every bodily function is displayed for all to see.
The next verse follows:

| Psalm 22:18 (Tanakh/KJV) | Psalm 22:18 (NET) | Psalm 21:19 (NETS) |
Psalm 21:19 (English Elpenor) |
| They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. | They are dividing up my clothes among themselves; they are rolling dice for my garments. | they divided my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they cast lots. | They are dividing up my clothes among themselves; they are rolling dice for my garments. |
Here Jesus, suspended on an upright cross, sees what happens beneath him. These shots were described fairly well in the Gospel narratives:
| Matthew 27:35, 36 (NET) | Mark 15:24, 25 (NET) | Luke 23:34 (NET) Table | John 19:23, 24 (NET) |
| When they had crucified him, | Then they crucified[12] him | Now when the soldiers crucified Jesus, | |
| they took his clothes | |||
| But Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” | |||
| they divided his clothes | and[13] divided[14] his clothes, | ||
| and made four shares, one for each soldier, and the tunic remained. (Now the tunic was seamless,[15] woven from top to bottom as a single piece.) [Table] So the soldiers said[16] to one another, “Let’s not tear it, | |||
| by throwing dice.[17] | throwing dice for them, | Then they threw dice[18] | but throw dice |
| to divide his clothes. | |||
| to decide what each would take. | |||
| to see who will get it.” This took place to fulfill the scripture that says, “They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they threw dice.” So the soldiers did these things. | |||
| Then they sat down and kept guard over him there. | |||
| It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him. |
Crucifixion was designed that the body and soul of the victim cry out, “This is wrong!” The torture for most of us would be that there is nothing we could do to end it but die. Jesus always had another option (John 10:17, 18 NET).
This is why the Father loves me—because I lay down my life, so that I may take it back again. No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it back again. This commandment I received from my Father.”
The detail in this psalm must have been quite helpful to the One intent on fulfilling the Scriptures: everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled,[19] Jesus reminded his disciples after his resurrection. For I am reasonably convinced that the last temptation of Christ had much more to do with enduring the cross than any fantasy of domestic bliss.
