Ezekiel 10:14

Compare all

12 And their whole body, with their back, their hands, their wings, and the wheels that the four had, were ^afull of eyes all around.

13 As for the wheels, they were called in my¹ hearing, “Wheel.”

14 ^aEach one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, the second face the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This was ^athe living creature I saw by the River Chebar.

16 ^aWhen the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also did not turn from beside them.

Ezekiel 10:14

The first - was the face of a cherub - In Ezekiel 1:10, this is called the "face of an ox;" here, the "face of a cherub:" hence, a cherub was in the likeness of an ox, at least, as to its head. kerub never occurs as a verb; and its meaning cannot be precisely ascertained. Parkhurst thinks the caph to be here the note of similitude; and then translates ke , "like," rab or rob , "the mighty one;" and, in consequence, makes the cherubim an emblem of the Holy Trinity. See his lengthy Dissertation under in his Hebrew and English Lexicon.
