Later text

Isaiah 6:13BSB

And though a tenth remains in the land, it will be burned again. As the terebinth and oak leave stumps when felled, so the holy seed will be a stump in the land."

Earlier text

Exodus 19:6BSB

And unto Me you shall be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words that you are to speak to the Israelites."

Significance

Isaiah 6:13 describes the surviving remnant as "the holy seed" (זֶרַע קֹדֶשׁ, zera qodesh), connecting to Exodus 19:6's foundational designation of Israel as "a kingdom of priests and a holy nation" (גּוֹי קָדוֹשׁ, goy qadosh). The root קדשׁ (qadash, "holy") links both passages. Exodus 19:6 establishes Israel's holy identity at Sinai as a corporate calling; Isaiah 6:13 reveals that after judgment strips away the unfaithful majority, this holiness is concentrated in the remnant — the "stump" that contains the holy seed. The Sinai calling is not abolished by judgment but preserved in a smaller, purified community that will regenerate the nation.
