Ezekiel 10:20 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 10:20

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.
