Isaiah 6:1-2

Expanded Bible

Isaiah Becomes a Prophet

6 In the year that King Uzziah died [^C740 bc], I saw the Lord sitting on a ·very high [^Lhigh and exalted] throne. ·His long [^LThe train/trailing part of his] robe filled the Temple. ² ·Heavenly creatures of fire [^LSeraphim; ^Cthe word means “burning ones” and points to purity, power, or judgment] ·stood above [or attended] him [Rev. 4:6–9]. Each creature had six wings: It used two wings to cover its face [^Cas a shield from God’s awesome glory], two wings to cover its ·feet [or body; ^Cindicating humility; “feet” can be a euphemism for genitals], and two wings for flying.
