Isaiah 6:6
Douay-Rheims
And one of the seraphims flew to me, and in his hand was a live coal, which he had taken with the tongs off the altar.
Ibn Ezra
ויעׇף Then flew. As written here, with a short kamez under ע, it is derived from עוף to fly; but ויעַף (Jud. 4:21), where the ע has a pathah, is derived from עיף to be weary. רצפה A live coal. Comp. רצפים coals (1 Kings 19:6). With tongs. As men use to do. From off the altar. Where the fire is holy, where there is no strange fire.
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
