以西結書 10:20 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 10:8-22

We have here a further account of the vision of God's glory which Ezekiel saw, here intended to introduce that direful omen of the departure of that glory from them, which would open the door for ruin to break in. I. Ezekiel sees the glory of God shining in the sanctuary, as he had seen it by the river of Chebar, and gives an account of it, that those who had by their wickedness provoked God to depart from them might know what they had lost and might lament after the Lord, groaning out their... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:20

This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel, by the river of Chebar ,.... This is repeated from Ezekiel 10:15 ; not only for the confirmation of it; but with an addition, to show that the appearance of the man upon the throne, Ezekiel 1:26 , is no other than the God of Israel; and inasmuch as Christ is there meant, for the Father never appeared in a human form, it follows that Christ is the God of Israel, under whose power, protection, and influence, the cherubim,... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:20

And I knew that they were the cherubims - This formation of the plural is quite improper. In general, Hebrew nouns of the masculine gender end in ים im , in the plural; the s, therefore, should never be added to such. Cherub is singular; cherubim is plural. The s should be uniformly expunged. I have already referred to the end of this chapter for farther information relative to this glorious chariot of Jehovah; but I must say that I have met with nothing on the subject that entirely... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:20

Verse 20 He repeats what we have seen before, namely, that one vision was offered twice, because God wished to mark distinctly what otherwise had been doubtful. The Prophet indeed was sufficiently persuaded that God had appeared to him, but the confirmation of it was not in vain, because he would have to sustain great conflicts. Meanwhile it must be observed, that the vision was confirmed a second time, not for the private advantage of a single person, but that this drawing attention to it... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 10:1-22

The machinery of God's providence. A man must be embodied ignorance who should suppose that all the activities of God's government come within the range of his vision. Our knowledge is not the measure of existence. "There are more things in heaven and earth Than are dreamt of in our philosophy." What we know is an infinitesimal fraction of what we do not know. Hence every revelation of God's administrative rule should be welcomed with eager delight. I. GOD 'S ESSENTIAL ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 10:20

Once more the prophet asserts, with fresh emphasis, the identity of the two visions which it had been given him to see. Now, as it were, he understands why the first vision was seen as coming from the north. He does not tell us whether the journey of which he saw the beginning was to end. For the present there was a halt, as we learn from Ezekiel 11:23 , "over the midst of the city." Even when the vision ended, it had not gone further than the Mount of Olives. We may conjecture, however,... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 10:20

In this departure of the glory of the Lord from the temple, the seer recognizes for the first time the full meaning of the vision which he had seen on the banks of Chebar Ezekiel 1:0. What he had seen there (did indeed imply that Yahweh had forsaken His house; but now this is made clear. The Glory has left the holy of holies, has appeared in the court, has been enthroned on the Living Four, and with them has departed from the temple. It is now clear that these Four (in form similar to, yet... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 10:20

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:1-22

God’s glory departs from the temple (10:1-22)In the present series of visions the fiery chariot-throne of God was in the court of the temple (see 8:3-4). The glory of God (that is, the symbolic form of God over the throne) had risen from the throne and come to rest on the threshold of the temple. From there God had directed his agents in the execution of the citizens of Jerusalem (see 9:3). From this same position on the temple threshold, God now gave further commands to the man who had... read more
