The author is using a common expression of his culture to mean that Yahweh spoke a message to Isaiah. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. If you have already translated the book of 1 Samuel, see how you translated the similar expression in 1 Samuel 15:10. Alternate translation: [and Yahweh spoke a message to him]
