Interpreters often note the way in which the phrase ‘holy seed’ links Isa. 6.13 and Ezra 9.2. However, few explore how these texts apply the phrase to different communities/groups of people in ancient Judah. In Isaiah, the holy seed is the remnant in the land following the exile, whereas in Ezra, those returning from Babylon take the mantel for themselves. This essay, then, proceeds in three phases: first, it considers the function of Isa. 6.13 within the context of Isaiah’s call narrative, which helps situate Isaiah’s reference to the holy seed. Second, the study turns to Ezra 9.2 and examines how its reference to the holy seed operates in the Restoration narrative. Finally, the essay explores how this analysis of Isa. 6 and Ezra 9 clarifies our understanding of how these texts may have engaged each other in the early Restoration period.

口译员经常注意到“圣种”这个短语与伊萨的联系方式。6.13 和以斯拉记 9.2。然而，很少有人探讨这些文本如何将这个短语应用于古代犹大的不同社区/人群。在以赛亚书中，圣洁的种子是被掳后留在地上的余民，而在以斯拉记，那些从巴比伦归来的人将壁炉架为自己。因此，本文分三个阶段进行：首先，它考虑了 Isa 的功能。6.13 在以赛亚的呼召叙述的上下文中，这有助于定位以赛亚对圣种子的引用。其次，研究转向以斯拉记 9.2 章，并检查它对神圣种子的引用如何在复兴叙事中起作用。最后，本文探讨了如何对伊萨进行这种分析。第 6 章和以斯拉记第 9 章阐明了我们对这些经文在早期复兴时期可能如何相互影响的理解。
