A repetition of Ezekiel 9:3. Now the glory of the Lord had gone up from the cherub to the threshold of the house. Ezekiel 10:4-6 describe what had occurred before the “man went in” Ezekiel 10:3. read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 10:4-7

Ezekiel 10:4-7. Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub In token of his departure from the temple. The words may be better rendered, For the glory of the Lord had gone up, &c. For the prophet repeats here what he had related before, Ezekiel 9:3. And the house was filled with the cloud The account here given must strike every reader as to its similarity with the description given of the Shechinah in the books of Moses and the first book of Kings. A bright cloud was the... read more

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

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 10:4

4. The court outside was full of the Lord's brightness, while it was only the cloud that filled the house inside, the scene of idolatries, and therefore of God's displeasure. God's throne was on the threshold. The temple, once filled with brightness, is now darkened with cloud. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 10:4-5

The prophet saw the glory of the Lord, perhaps personified, move from among the cherubim to the doorway of the temple building a second time (cf. Ezekiel 9:3). As God moved, the cloud representing His glory filled the temple and illuminated the courtyard (cf. Exodus 13:21-22). The sound of the cherubim’s wings (Ezekiel 1:6-9) also filled the whole temple area as far as the outer courtyard. That sound was like the voice of Almighty God, the sovereign of all creation, when He speaks (cf. Ezekiel... read more

John Dummelow

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:1-22

The Destruction of Jerusalem by EireIn this chapter the living chariot accompanying the vision of God’s glory is the most prominent object. The living creatures are now recognised by Ezekiel as cherubim, and called so. Otherwise the description is largely a repetition of Ezekiel 1. The man with the inkhorn is directed to take coals of fire from the glowing interior of the chariot and to scatter them over the city. This part of the vision points forward to the burning of Jerusalem as the final... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 10:4

(4) The glory of the Lord went up from the cherub.—As in Ezekiel 10:2, the singular, cherub, instead of the usual plural. Here it is thought to designate, not the four living creatures of the vision, but the cherubim overshadowing the mercy-seat, and to indicate that the manifestation of the Divine presence now left the Holy of Holies, and went to the threshold of the door of the house, preparatory to leaving it altogether. The expression is obscure, since the place of the manifestation of the... read more
