Abstract
A study of the interpretation given the text of Isa 6:9-10 in the diverse writings of the Rabbis and Church Fathers proves to be instructive as well as quite interesting. It is instructive because of the insights into early exegetical methods to be had while it is interesting for the student of historical theology. In Isa 6:9-10 we have a provocative text, originally one of severe prophetic condemnation, that comes to be understood in two divergent religious traditions in equally divergent manners. The purpose of this brief study is to outline the interpretation of this text in Rabbinic and Patristic writings which will serve to illustrate the 'adaptability' of Scripture during the formative years of rabbinic Judaism and early Christianity.
