The Pulpit Commentary on Isaiah 6:7

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

He laid it upon my mouth; literally, he caused it to touch my mouth; i.e. "he touched my mouth with it." He brought it into contact with that part of him which the prophet had recognized () as the seat of impurity.

Thine iniquity is taken away. By the contact the prophet's impurity is purged, and he is freed from it.
