Isaiah 6:2
_ _ stood — not necessarily the posture of standing; rather, were in attendance on Him [Maurer], hovering on expanded wings.
_ _ the — not in the Hebrew.
_ _ seraphim — nowhere else applied to God’s attendant angels; but to the fiery flying (not winged, but rapidly moving) serpents, which bit the Israelites (Numbers 21:6), called so from the poisonous inflammation caused by their bites. Seraph is to burn; implying the burning zeal, dazzling brightness (2 Kings 2:11; 2 Kings 6:17; Ezekiel 1:13; Matthew 28:3) and serpent-like rapidity of the seraphim in God’s service. Perhaps Satan’s form as a serpent (nachash) in his appearance to man has some connection with his original form as a seraph of light. The head of the serpent was the symbol of wisdom in Egypt (compare Numbers 21:8; 2 Kings 18:4). The seraphim, with six wings and one face, can hardly be identified with the cherubim, which had four wings (in the temple only two) and four faces (Ezekiel 1:5-12). (But compare Revelation 4:8). The “face” and “feet” imply a human form; something of a serpentine form (perhaps a basilisk’s head, as in the temples of Thebes) may have been mixed with it: so the cherub was compounded of various animal forms. However, seraph may come from a root meaning “princely,” applied in Daniel 10:13 to Michael [Maurer]; just as cherub comes from a root (changing m into b), meaning “noble.”
_ _ twain — Two wings alone of the six were kept ready for instant flight in God’s service; two veiled their faces as unworthy to look on the holy God, or pry into His secret counsels which they fulfilled (Exodus 3:6; Job 4:18; Job 15:15); two covered their feet, or rather the whole of the lower parts of their persons — a practice usual in the presence of Eastern monarchs, in token of reverence (compare Ezekiel 1:11, their bodies). Man’s service a fortiori consists in reverent waiting on, still more than in active service for, God. |
Isaiah 6:2
Stood — As ministers attending upon their Lord. Seraphim — An order of holy angels, thus called from fire and burning, which this word properly signifies; to represent either their nature, which is bright and glorious, subtile, and pure; or their property, of fervent zeal for God's service and glory. Covered — Out of profound reverence. |
Isaiah 6:2
Above it stood the (d) seraphims: each one had six wings; with two he covered his (e) face, and with two he covered his (f) feet, and with two he (g) flew.
(d) They were angels so called because they were of a fiery colour, to signify that they burnt in the love of God, or were light as fire to execute his will.
(e) Signifying that they were not able to endure the brightness of God's glory.
(f) By which it was declared that man was not able to see the brightness of God in them.
(g) Which declares the prompt obedience of the angels to execute God's commandment. |
