The form helps readers notice that Isaiah 6:4 begins with a cause-or-source relation: the shaking is connected to the sound in the throne-room vision.

What Not To Say
- Grammar should serve context, not override it.
- Do not draw theology from grammatical gender, number, or state apart from the verse.
- Do not treat the construct relationship as the whole interpretation of Isaiah 6:4.
- Do not treat this occurrence as a complete word study for the whole Hebrew lemma.
- Do not use the mem prefix by itself to decide whether the sound is best described as source, cause, or occasion; the clause supplies the relation.

What The Form Does In This Verse

The prefixed mem preposition on a construct noun, with the following calling/voice expression completing the relation

It does not identify the speaker by itself, and it does not turn the sound phrase into a complete theology of worship apart from Isaiah 6.
How Much The Form Matters Here

Direct: The prefixed preposition and construct noun directly support an English relation such as "at the sound" or "from the sound."
The mem prefix can be heard as source, cause, or occasion depending on the clause, so the whole phrase must decide the nuance. The construct noun depends on the following expression; it should not be interpreted as a complete phrase by itself. The masculine singular form is grammatical and should not be turned into a theological claim.
Construct state gives the whole meaning by itself: The construct form signals dependence, but the following voice/calling expression completes the relation. preposition-m always means one English word: The prefix can be rendered according to context; Isaiah 6:4 supplies the sound relation. grammatical gender adds theological meaning: The masculine singular label describes the noun form, not a doctrine about sound or worship.
How The Interpretation Is Derived
The BSB+ row for Isaiah 6:4 links the English rendering "At the sound" with מִקּ֖וֹל, Strong's H6963, and the parsing label Prep-m | N-msc.
H6963 is represented here by the lemma קוֹל. In this occurrence, the public guide is limited to the BSB rendering "At the sound" rather than every possible gloss of the entry.
The mem prefix and construct state work together: ???????? begins a dependent sound phrase, and the following expression supplies the voice or caller relation. The form is therefore relational, not a standalone noun label.
Isaiah 6 shows the prophet before the holy Lord, receiving cleansing and a commission in the presence of divine glory.
The form fits Scripture's witness to holiness, cleansing, and commissioned speech before the Lord.
When teaching Isaiah 6:4, use this form to show that the verse links the temple-threshold shaking to the overwhelming sound in the vision. Keep the observation tied to the phrase and the scene.
Do not derive a full word study, a doctrine of divine voice, or a theory of worship presence from Prep-m | N-msc alone. The form marks the sound relation in this occurrence.
