The verse 2 is found in chapter 6 of Isaiah. Isaiah’s vision in the temple introduces the concept of Yahweh’s absolute holiness. Before the vision, the prophet recognizes his own impurity and that of his people; the coal taken from the altar symbolizes purification before the mission. When Isaiah responds, “Here am I,” prophetic calling becomes linked to an experience of grace and to proclaiming a message that will encounter resistance.

Por encima de él estaban los serafines. Seis alas, seis alas tenía cada uno: con dos se cubría el rostro, con dos se cubría los pies y con dos volaba.
