בין שמים וארץ: ישעיהו ו 1-13

Isa 6:1–13, which opens with a stupendous the tophany, is characterized by much movement and by repeated and varied changes, which support each other. These include transitions between separate spaces, some spaces that change their appearance, characters who move from place to place and who change their nature, changing levels of communication between characters, shifting exegetical insights, and alternately widening and narrowing perspectives.The article is tracing the development of the various aspects that characterize the pericope, through analyzing the connections between the verses – in terms of both content and language – on the on ehand, and the differences between them on the other. These, standout throughout the reading process of the pericope. By doing this, the article presents the periscope's contents, the way inwhich it designs and presents its characters and the relations between them, and the ideological insights that arise from it.The article demonstrates – in light of the changing spatial characteristics of the chapter combined with additional frequent changes; in light of the opening description's emphasis on God's greatness and the closeness of the prophet; and in light of the general characteristics of the destruction in the concluding verses – that the periscope in its present formulation emphasizes the sacred and exalted God, and weighs the derived fundamental possibility of an encounter between the divine and the human worlds, and the implications for both poles. The varied movements that characterize the periscope present different facets of this central issue.
