Ezekiel 10:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 10:3

The Glory Departs from the Temple

1 And I looked, and there in the ^afirmament that was above the head of the cherubim, there appeared something like a sapphire stone, having the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

2 ^aThen He spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said, “Go in among the wheels, under the cherub, fill your hands with ^bcoals of fire from among the cherubim, and ^cscatter them over the city.” And he went in as I watched.

3 Now the cherubim were standing on the¹ south side of the temple when the man went in, and the ^acloud filled the inner court.

4 ^aThen the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub, and paused over the threshold of the¹ temple; and ^bthe house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the Lord’s ^cglory.

5 And the ^asound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even in the outer court, like ^bthe voice of Almighty God when He speaks.

6 Then it happened, when He commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from among the wheels, from among the cherubim,” that he went in and stood beside the wheels.

7 And the cherub stretched out his hand from among the cherubim to the fire that was among the cherubim, and took some of it and put it into the hands of the man clothed with linen, who took it and went out.
