<< Isaiah 6:3 Isaiah 6:5 >>
Isaiah 6:4
And the posts of the door - Margin, ' Thresholds.' There is some difficulty in the Hebrew here, but the meaning of the expression is sufficiently apparent. It means that there was a tremour, or concussion, as if by awe, or by the sound attending the cry. It is evidently a poetic expression.
The house - The temple.
Was filled with smoke - There is here, doubtless, a reference to "the cloud" that is so often mentioned in the Old Testament as the visible symbol of the Divinity; see the note at Isaiah 4:5. A similar appearance is recorded when Solomon dedicated the temple; I Kings 8:10; II Chronicles 5:13; Ezekiel 10:4.
