Ezekiel 10:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 10:14

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.

17 ^aWhen¹ the cherubim stood still, the wheels stood still, and when² one was lifted up, the other lifted itself up, for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

18 Then ^athe glory of the Lord ^bdeparted from the threshold of the¹ temple and stood over the cherubim.

19 And ^athe cherubim lifted their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight. When they went out, the wheels were beside them; and they stood at the door of the ^beast gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.

20 ^aThis is the living creature I saw under the God of Israel ^bby the River Chebar, and I knew they were cherubim.

21 ^aEach one had four faces and each one four wings, and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

22 And ^athe likeness of their faces was the same as the faces which I had seen by the River Chebar, their appearance and their persons. ^bThey each went straight forward.
