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.

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.

Ezekiel 10:14

The first face ... - The face of the first was the face of the cherub, and the face of the second was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion and the fourth the face of an eagle. Of the four faces of each cherub, the seer names only one - the face looking in the direction in which that cherub leads the motion of the chariot. The face of the cherub which presented itself to the seer was that of "an ox." When he looking northward first saw the chariot the "ox-face" was on the left side Ezekiel 1:10. This would make the ox-face look eastward, and it is not unlikely that the man might approach the chariot from the southeastern part of the inner court.
