In one form or another, the Trisagion, "Holy, holy, holy is the
Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory", entered
Jewish and Christian liturgy at an early stage from Isaiah's
account of his vision as recorded in Isaiah 6. Before that
happened, however, it is likely that it went through a significant
change of meaning from what the Old Testament prophet himself meant
by it. Drawing on material that was familiar to him from the
worship of the Jerusalem temple, he used it distinctly but
characteristically to challenge his audience's view that God would
automatically protect them from their enemies. In other words, the
saying had a threatening rather than an encouraging tone. In the
course of the following centuries, however, as the book of Isaiah
grew, new reflections on the saying were added in the later
chapters, with the result that when the book came to be translated
into Greek the translator was justified in rendering the saying in
the way that has become familiar to us. The unusual retention of
the Hebrew word "Sabaoth", however, reminds us even today of the
long path by which it has reached us from antiquity.
