Isaiah 6
In the year King Uzziah died Isaiah sees the Lord high and lifted up, the train of his robe filling the temple, and seraphim calling 'Holy, holy, holy.' A coal from the altar touches his lips, and when the Lord asks 'Whom shall I send?' he answers, 'Here am I; send me.'

Saying 'holy' three times is a Hebrew way of saying 'utterly holy'.
Hebrew often intensifies by repeating a word; Genesis 14:10 says 'pits, pits' for a valley full of pits. Isaiah 6:3 repeats qādôš three times.
