Psalms 22:16. Unity of Scripture Commentary
Here is an example of unity of scripture. You have three witnesses, Psalms, Isaiah, and Zechariah.
Psalms 22:16. Dogs have surrounded me; a band of evil men has encircled me, they have pierced my hands and my feet.
Isaiah 53:5. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
Mourning for the One They Pierced Zechariah 12:10. "And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced,
In the Dead Sea Scrolls. It is very unfortunate that in the Dead Sea Scrolls, in that very place, the letter could not be read; because it was damaged in that very place. Since this scrap is dated (in accordance with the style of letters used) in 5068 CE, it is almost 1000 years earlier than the Masoretic text, and shows that in at least one of the earliest Hebrew traditions of Psalm 22, the word is not “like a lion” but they “pierced.”
The scrap from Psalm 22 found at Nachal Hever is what makes the Orthodox translation suspect of corruption.
The scroll fragment is a Pre-Christian era Hebrew. It is not disputed by scholars. There has been hanky panky on both sides of the fence, causing Gods word to be profaned by those who do not believe.

Englishman's Concordance kā•’ă•rî — 1 Occurrence Psalm 22:16 HEB: מְ֭רֵעִים הִקִּיפ֑וּנִי כָּ֝אֲרִ֗י יָדַ֥י וְרַגְלָֽי׃ KJV: have inclosed me: they pierced my hands INT: of evildoers has encompassed dig my hands and my feet
The Psalms Scroll found at Qumran did not include 22:16 because the manuscript was damaged at the very place where it would have appeared.
Scraps from a scroll containing some of the Psalms were discovered at Nachal Hever, and one scrap contained the line from Psalm 22:16 with the word in question well in view. Though the writing on the scrap was faint, under magnification it was easy to see and decipher. The word clearly ended in a vav and not a yod, and was therefore a 3rd person plural verb: “they dug” or “they pierced.”
Isaiah 53:5. Wounded. Interpretation, pierced.
Zechariah 12:10. Stabbed. Interpretation, pierced.
