Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 9:3

Ezekiel 9:3. And the glory, &c.— Meaning the glory which Ezekiel saw in the preceding chapter; that is to say, not only the chariot of glory, with the wheels and the cherubim, but also the Man sitting in the chariot; for it is the Man who speaks in this and the following verses, and who in the fourth verse is called Jehovah, or the Lord: It is observable, that cherub is here used in the singular for the whole divine apparatus: Houbigant renders it, From the cherubim whereupon he sat. In 1Ch... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 9:3

3. glory of . . . God—which had heretofore, as a bright cloud, rested on the mercy seat between the cherubim in the holy of holies (2 Samuel 6:2; Psalms 80:1); its departure was the presage of the temple being given up to ruin; its going from the inner sanctuary to the threshold without, towards the officers standing at the altar outside, was in order to give them the commission of vengeance. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 9:3

Ezekiel then saw the glory of God (probably personified, cf. Ezekiel 8:2) move from the cherub (probably a collective singular for cherubim, the cherubim in the courtyard, Ezekiel 10:3) to the threshold (main entrance) of the temple building."The departure of the glory of the Lord from Israel is one of the basic disclosures of this prophetic book, so Ezekiel traces it very carefully in its different stages (cf. Ezekiel 9:3; Ezekiel 10:18-19; [Ezekiel 11:23;] Ezekiel 43:2-5)." [Note: Feinberg,... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 9:1-11

The Slaughter of the Idolaters in JerusalemThe voice which has been speaking to Ezekiel now summons six supernatural beings armed with weapons of slaughter. They are attended by a seventh robed like a priest and equipped as a scribe. They come from the north, and take their stand by the brasen altar in the inner court. The ’glory of God’ leaves the living chariot and stands at the threshold of the main Temple building. The man who acts as scribe is instructed to go through the city and set a... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 9:3

(3) The glory . . . to the threshold.—In Ezekiel 8:4 the prophet had seen the same vision as he has described in Ezekiel 1:0 standing at the entrance of the court of the priests, and there it still remained. The word cherub is here used collectively. Now that special glory above the cherubim, which represented the Divine Being Himself, was gone from its place to the threshold of the house, but is returned again in Ezekiel 10:1. At the same time, there is also suggested the idea that the... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Ezekiel 9:1-11

Ezekiel 9:1-2 'That which has made me publish this book,' says Bunyan in his preface to The Life and Death of Mr. Badman, 'is for that wickedness like a flood is like to drown our English world; it begins already to be above the tops of the mountains.... Oh that I could mourn for England, and for the sins that are committed therein, even while I see that, without repentance, the men of God's wrath are about to deal with us, each having his slaughtering weapon in his hand.' Ezekiel 9:4 I think... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 9:1-11

YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT UNTO YOU DESOLATEEzekiel 8:1-18; Ezekiel 9:1-11; Ezekiel 10:1-22; Ezekiel 11:1-25ONE of the most instructive phases of religious belief among the Israelites of the seventh century was the superstitious regard in which the Temple at Jerusalem was held. Its prestige as the metropolitan sanctuary had no doubt steadily increased from the time when it was built. But it was in the crisis of the Assyrian invasion that the popular sentiment in favour of its peculiar sanctity was... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Ezekiel 9:1-11

Ezekiel 9:1-11 . The six men mentioned are angels, into whose hands the city is given. Angels are used in judgments past and future. (See Matthew 13:41 ; Matthew 16:27 ; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-12 .) Angels are likewise prominently mentioned in the book of Revelation. There is a striking correspondency between this chapter and Revelation 7:1-3 . Those who sigh and weep constitute the remnant which have no sympathy with the abominations. They are marked for preservation. Thus a remnant was then... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Ezekiel 9:3

9:3 And the glory of the God of Israel had {e} gone up from the cherub, on which he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, who [had] the writer’s inkhorn by his side;(e) Which declared that he was not bound to it, neither would remain any longer than there was hope that they would return from their wickedness and worship him correctly. read more
