King Uzziah's reign was marked by prosperity and military success, but it ended in tragedy due to his pride and subsequent leprosy (<a href="/2_chronicles/26-16.htm">2 Chronicles 26:16-21</a>). The death of Uzziah symbolizes a time of transition and uncertainty for Judah. The Hebrew word for "died" (מוּת, muth) often signifies not just physical death but also the end of an era. This context underscores the need for divine guidance and revelation during times of national and personal upheaval.I saw the Lord The Hebrew word for "saw" (רָאָה, ra'ah) implies a profound, spiritual vision rather than a mere physical sight. Isaiah's encounter with the "Lord" (אֲדֹנָי, Adonai) is a theophany, a direct and awe-inspiring revelation of God's presence. This vision emphasizes God's sovereignty and holiness, providing a stark contrast to the earthly kingship of Uzziah. It serves as a reminder that, despite human failures, God remains the ultimate authority and source of hope.seated on a throne The imagery of God "seated on a throne" conveys His supreme authority and kingship over all creation. In ancient Near Eastern cultures, a throne symbolized power, judgment, and governance. The Hebrew word for "throne" (כִּסֵּא, kisse) reinforces the idea of God's unchallenged rule. This vision reassures Isaiah and the people of Judah that, despite political instability, God's reign is eternal and unshakeable.high and exalted The description of the throne as "high and exalted" emphasizes God's transcendence and majesty. The Hebrew words רָם (ram) and נִשָּׂא (nissa) suggest elevation and lifting up, portraying God as far above any earthly power or authority. This imagery invites believers to lift their eyes above their immediate circumstances and recognize the grandeur and holiness of God, inspiring worship and reverence.and the train of His robe filled the temple The "train of His robe" symbolizes God's glory and presence. In ancient times, the length of a king's robe was a measure of his status and splendor. The Hebrew word for "filled" (מָלֵא, male) indicates completeness and abundance. The fact that God's robe fills the temple signifies His overwhelming presence and the fullness of His glory. This vision of divine majesty filling the sacred space of the temple serves as a powerful reminder of God's immanence and His desire to dwell among His people.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/isaiah/6.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>VI.(1) In the year that king Uzziah died.--Probably before his death. Had it been after it, the first year of king Jotham would have been the more natural formula. The chapter gives us the narrative of the solemn call of Isaiah to the office of a prophet. It does not follow that it was written at that time, and we may even believe that, if the prophet were the editor of his own discourses, he may have designedly placed the narrative in this position that men might see what he himself saw, that all that was found in the preceding chapters was but the development of what he had then heard, and yet, at the same time, a representation of the evils which made the judgments he was commissioned to declare necessary. On the relation of the call to the prophet's previous life, see Introduction.The date is obviously given as important, and we are led to connect it with the crisis in the prophet's life of which it tells. He had lived through the last twenty years or so of Uzziah's reign. There was the show of outward material prosperity. There was the reality of much inward corruption. The king who had profaned the holiness of the Temple had either just died or was dragging out the dregs of his leprous life in seclusion (<a href="/2_chronicles/26-21.htm" title="And Uzziah the king was a leper to the day of his death, and dwelled in a several house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land.">2Chronicles 26:21</a>). The question, What was to be the future of his people? must have been much in the prophet's thoughts. The earthquake that had terrified Jerusalem had left on his mind a vague sense of impending judgment. It is significant that Isaiah's first work as a writer was to write the history of Uzziah's reign (<a href="/2_chronicles/26-22.htm" title="Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write.">2Chronicles 26:22</a>). (See Introduction.)I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne.--Isaiah had found himself in 'the court of the Temple, probably in that of the priests. He had seen the incense-clouds rising from the censer of the priest, and had heard the hymns and hallelujahs of the Levites. Suddenly he passes, as St. Paul afterwards passed, under the influence of like surroundings (<a href="/acts/22-17.htm" title="And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;">Acts 22:17</a>), into a state of ecstatic trance, and as though the veil of the Temple was withdrawn, he saw the vision of the glory of the Lord, as Moses (<a href="/exodus/24-10.htm" title="And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.">Exodus 24:10</a>) and Micaiah of old had seen it (<a href="/1_kings/22-19.htm" title="And he said, Hear you therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.">1Kings 22:19</a>), as in more recent times it had appeared to Amos (9:1). The King of kings was seated on His throne, and on the right hand and on the left were the angel-armies of the host of heaven, chanting their hymns of praise. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/6.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 1-4. - THE VISION OF GOD SEEN BY ISAIAH. It is thought by some that this vision, and its sequel, constitute the original call of Isaiah to the prophetical office, and in order of time precede all the other contents of the book. But the position of the "vision" in the book is strongly against this view. Prophets who relate their original call naturally place it in the forefront of their narrative (<a href="/jeremiah/1-10.htm">Jeremiah 1:10</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/1-1.htm">Ezekiel 1:1</a>). It is quite possible, as Bishop Lowth says, that this was "a new designation, to introduce more solemnly a general declaration of the whole course of God's dispensations in regard to his people, and the fates of the nations." The vision itself may profitably be compared with Ezekiel's first vision, which it much resembles (<a href="/ezekiel/1-4.htm">Ezekiel 1:4-28</a>). Verse 1. - In the year that King Uzziah died. The year B.C. 759, probably. We cannot determine from the phrase used whether the vision was seen before or after Uzziah's death. I saw also; rather, then it was that I saw (comp. <a href="/exodus/16-6.htm">Exodus 16:6</a>). The Lord. Not "Jehovah," as in vers. 3 and 5, but "Adonay," for greater reverence. Sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up. The imagery is, of course, taken from the practice of earthly kings. Elaborate thrones were affected by the great monarchs of Egypt and Assyria (Lepsius, 'Deutmaler,' pt. 3. pls. 2, 76, 100, 121; Layard, 'Nineveh and Babylon,' p. 150). Solomon's throne was perhaps even grander than any of these (see <a href="/1_kings/10-18.htm">1 Kings 10:18-20</a>). It was placed at the summit of "six steps," so that its occupant was "high and lifted up" above all his courtiers. His train. Not his train of attendants, but "the skirts of his robe." Flowing robes were commonly worn by great monarchs. Filled the temple; or, the palace. The same word is used in Hebrew for both. Dr. Kay supposes the prophet to be "in vision gazing on the actual temple - to see its veils drawn aside, and instead of the Shechinah enthroned on the cherubim, to behold the King of glory, enthroned on high, the fringes of his royal robe filling the temple, so that no human priest could minister there." But, as Mr. Cheyne observes, "palace is more in harmony with the picture than temple." It is the heavenly palace of the King of kings into which the prophet's gaze is allowed to penetrate. <a href="/commentaries/isaiah/6-1.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>In the year בִּשְׁנַת־ (biš·naṯ-) Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8141.htm">Strong's 8141: </a> A year that King הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ (ham·me·leḵ) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> A king Uzziah עֻזִּיָּ֔הוּ (‘uz·zî·yā·hū) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5818.htm">Strong's 5818: </a> Uzziah -- 'my strength is Yah', the name of several Israelites died, מוֹת֙ (mō·wṯ) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4194.htm">Strong's 4194: </a> Death, the dead, their place, state, pestilence, ruin I saw וָאֶרְאֶ֧ה (wā·’er·’eh) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7200.htm">Strong's 7200: </a> To see the Lord אֲדֹנָ֛י (’ă·ḏō·nāy) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_136.htm">Strong's 136: </a> The Lord seated יֹשֵׁ֥ב (yō·šêḇ) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3427.htm">Strong's 3427: </a> To sit down, to dwell, to remain, to settle, to marry on עַל־ (‘al-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against a throne, כִּסֵּ֖א (kis·sê) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3678.htm">Strong's 3678: </a> Seat of honor, throne high רָ֣ם (rām) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7311.htm">Strong's 7311: </a> To be high actively, to rise, raise and exalted; וְנִשָּׂ֑א (wə·niś·śā) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Nifal - Participle - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5375.htm">Strong's 5375: </a> To lift, carry, take and the train of His robe וְשׁוּלָ֖יו (wə·šū·lāw) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7757.htm">Strong's 7757: </a> A skirt, a bottom edge filled מְלֵאִ֥ים (mə·lê·’îm) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4390.htm">Strong's 4390: </a> To fill, be full of the temple. הַהֵיכָֽל׃ (ha·hê·ḵāl) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1964.htm">Strong's 1964: </a> A large public building, palace, temple <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/isaiah/6-1.htm">Isaiah 6:1 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/isaiah/6-1.htm">Isaiah 6:1 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/isaiah/6-1.htm">Isaiah 6:1 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/isaiah/6-1.htm">Isaiah 6:1 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/isaiah/6-1.htm">Isaiah 6:1 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/isaiah/6-1.htm">Isaiah 6:1 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/isaiah/6-1.htm">Isaiah 6:1 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/isaiah/6-1.htm">Isaiah 6:1 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/isaiah/6-1.htm">Isaiah 6:1 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/isaiah/6-1.htm">Isaiah 6:1 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/isaiah/6-1.htm">OT Prophets: Isaiah 6:1 In the year that king Uzziah died (Isa Isi Is)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/isaiah/5-30.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Isaiah 5:30"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Isaiah 5:30" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/isaiah/6-2.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Isaiah 6:2"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Isaiah 6:2" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
