<category>Not Real: Prophetic Vision
 
<p>Yeshayahu's&#160;fulfillment of Hashem's command took place in a vision and was not witnessed by the public. As such, the message of the prophecy may&#160;not have been meant for the people of Judah.&#160;</p>

<p>Yeshayahu carried out Hashem's command in public and exactly how the verses make it.&#160;This effectively transmitted the prophecy's message to the people of Judah.</p>

In discussing the difference between an&#160;אוֹת and a&#160;מוֹפֵת, Ramban writes a&#160;מוֹפֵת is a prophetic sign that is complete deviation from nature or abnormal. A paradigm of such an action is Yeshayahu's of our chapter. Such an action qualifies as a&#160;מוֹפֵת because "it is a bewilderment that a prophet should walk like this" ("this" referring to עָרוֹם וְיָחֵף).</fn>,&#160;<multilink><a href="AbarbanelYeshayahu20" data-aht="source">Abarbanel</a><a href="AbarbanelYeshayahu20" data-aht="source">Yeshayahu 20</a><a href="R.

<p>While these commentators concur Yeshayahu's action took place in public, they dilute the potency of "עָרוֹם וְיָחֵף"&#160;to accord the story with the standards we have for our prophets.&#160;</p>
