Ezekiel 10:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 10:9

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.

8 ^aThe cherubim appeared to have the form of a man’s hand under their wings.

9 ^aAnd when I looked, there were four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub and another wheel by each other cherub; the wheels appeared to have the color of a ^bberyl stone.

10 As for their appearance, all four looked alike—as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel.

11 ^aWhen they went, they went toward any of their four directions; they did not turn aside when they went, but followed in the direction the head was facing. They did not turn aside when they went.

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.
