I beheld my Lord seated on a high and lofty throne; and the skirts of His robe filled the Temple.
Seraphs stood in attendance on Him.
Each of them had six wings:
with two he covered his face,
with two he covered his legs,
and with two he would fly.
And one would call to the other,
“Holy, holy, holy! The LORD of Hosts! His presence fills all the earth!”
וַתִּשָּׂאֵ֣נִי ר֔וּחַ וָאֶשְׁמַ֣ע אַחֲרַ֔י ק֖וֹל רַ֣עַשׁ גָּד֑וֹל בָּר֥וּךְ כְּבוֹד־יְהֹוָ֖ה מִמְּקוֹמֽוֹ׃
Then a spirit carried me away, and behind me I heard a great roaring sound: “Blessed is the Presence of the LORD, in His place,”-a
״וָאֵרֶא הַחַיּוֹת וְהִנֵּה אוֹפַן אֶחָד בָּאָרֶץ אֵצֶל הַחַיּוֹת״,
אָמַר רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר: מַלְאָךְ אֶחָד שֶׁהוּא עוֹמֵד בָּאָרֶץ, וְרֹאשׁוֹ מַגִּיעַ אֵצֶל הַחַיּוֹת.
בְּמַתְנִיתָא תָּנָא: סַנְדַּלְפוֹן שְׁמוֹ, הַגָּבוֹהַּ מֵחֲבֵרוֹ מַהֲלַךְ חֲמֵשׁ מֵאוֹת שָׁנָה. וְעוֹמֵד אֲחוֹרֵי הַמֶּרְכָּבָה וְקוֹשֵׁר כְּתָרִים לְקוֹנוֹ.
אִינִי? וְהָכְתִיב: ״בָּרוּךְ כְּבוֹד ה׳ מִמְּקוֹמוֹ״, מִכְּלָל דִּמְקוֹמוֹ לֵיכָּא דְּיָדַע לֵיהּ!
דְּאָמַר שֵׁם אַתָּגָא וְאָזֵל וְיָתֵיב בְּרֵישֵׁיהּ.
“Now as I beheld the divine creatures, behold, one wheel [ofan] was upon the earth near the divine creatures” (Ezekiel 1:15).
Rabbi Elazar said: This wheel is a certain angel who stands on the earth and its head reaches the divine creatures.
It was taught in a baraita: This angel is named Sandalfon, who is taller than his colleague by a distance of five hundred years, and he stands behind the Divine Chariot and weaves crowns for his Maker.
The Gemara asks: Is that so? Can crowns be woven for God? But isn’t it written: “Blessed be the Lord’s glory from His place” (Ezekiel 3:12), which proves by inference that no one knows His place? Therefore, how can crowns be woven for Him? Rather, it can be done by saying a name for the crown, and then the crown goes and sits on God’s head of its own accord.
נַעֲרִיצְךָ וְנַקְדִישְׁךָ כְּסוד שיחַ שרְפֵי קדֶשׁ הַמַּקְדִּישִׁים שִׁמְךָ בַּקּדֶשׁ
כַּכָּתוּב עַל יַד נְבִיאֶךָ.
וְקָרָא זֶה אֶל זֶה וְאָמַר קָדושׁ קָדושׁ קָדושׁ ה' צְבָאות מְלא כָל הָאָרֶץ כְּבודו:
כְּבודו מָלֵא עולָם. מְשָׁרְתָיו שׁואֲלִים זֶה לָזֶה: אַיֵּה מְקום כְּבודו?
לְעֻמָּתָם בָּרוּךְ יאמֵרוּ:
בָּרוּךְ כְּבוד ה' מִמְּקומו:
WE WILL revere You and sanctify You, in the manner of the gathered counsels of the holy Seraphim, who sanctify Your name
in the celestial Sanctuary, as it is written by Your prophet: “And they call to one another:
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole world is filled with His glory.’” (Isaiah 6.3)
His glory fills the world. His ministering angels ask each other,
“Where is the place of His glory?”
Those facing them say: “
"Blessed is the glory of the Lord from His place.” (Ezekiel 3.12)
