(Isa. 6:4)
Large doors, such as the doors to a temple, did not have hinges as we know them; the leaves of the door were attached to a large post which itself pivoted in a socket (usually stone) top and bottom. Thus, if the post was to bear the weight of the large doors, often covered with metal, it had to be one of the more massive and solidly anchored wooden pieces in the structure. If this post moved at all, it could only be caused by a powerful force. In other words, the voice of the seraph, “the one who cried,” was strong enough to cause the door post to move. The equivalent metaphorical statement in English would be that the roof was raised by the sound of his voice.
