Isaiah 53:5 — 'crushed for our iniquities': what does 'crushed' mean in context?

Ra claims Jesus was never 'crushed' as described in Isaiah 53

Mike looks up the Hebrew word for 'crushed' in Isaiah 53:5, noting it can mean physically broken, humiliated, oppressed, trampled, or ground down. He argues Jesus was crushed in multiple senses: physically through the beatings, scourging, crucifixion, and spear wound; and in the sense of being utterly broken. The passage connects the crushing to substitutionary atonement: 'crushed for our iniquities' — he is dying as a sin-bearer on behalf of others.
