Abstract
This article focuses on liturgical practices and the mystical exegesis of Isaiah 6:3, both in the mainly rabbinic Jewish corpus, as well as in the former Christian corpus. The Kedushah together with the Sanctus have an uncertain and difficult to determine origin, and it is far from clear whether the former is the direct source of the latter. On the question of the relationship between heavenly liturgy and earthly liturgy, Christian sources would be rather close to the Qumran texts and, to a lesser extent, the mystical literature of Hekhalot. Among the Fathers, liturgy and exegesis are characterized by a strong interaction or an amalgamation, in contrast to the rabbinic corpus, where the interpretation of Is 6:3 is practically never connected with the ritual of the Kedushah in a synagogue. The rabbinic concept of divine body and the Christian Incarnation are both associated with Is 6:3.
