...Spying, I have to share something I just learned with you. Ashem doesn't have "ash" {fire} as its root. It is a root word by itself, meaning "guiltiness". This separates "the servant of Isa. 53" from the altar. He needn't be associated with the altar at all. This would leave "the servant", non Levitical" in nature. This is hard to get used to, but it makes this man more interesting. Imagine this, "the servant" doesn't have to fullfill anything "Levitical" at all. His only purpose is to make his people righteous. The servant of Of Isa. 53 only takes up a burdon of guilt for his people, and in so doing, makes them all righteous to their Eloheem. He stands in their place, pleading for them. "Ash" and "ashem" are different roots with different meanings.
