에스겔 10:8-22 KRV

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:17

When they stood, these stood ,.... When the one were inactive, lifeless, and without motion, making no progress in knowledge, experience, and practice, the other were so likewise; See Gill on Ezekiel 1:21 ; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also ; like people, like priest, whether in things commendable or not, Hosea 4:9 ; for the spirit of the living creature was in them ; the same spirit that was in the cherubim was in the wheels; and the same... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:18

Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold of the house ,.... Whither he had removed from the cherub or the cherubim, between the mercy seat, Ezekiel 10:4 ; taking another step towards a general departure from the temple and city, of which this was another signal and warning: and stood over the cherubim : not on the mercy seat from whence he came, for hither he returned not; but over the cherubim or living creatures seen in the vision, which were under the throne in the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:19

And the cherubim lifted up their wings ,.... As birds do, when they are about to remove and fly away; these being upon the motion, ready to depart, as well as the glory of the Lord: and mounted up from the earth in my sight : the land of Judea, where the Gospel was first preached; but this being slighted and despised, the apostles and first ministers of the Gospel took their flight from thence, and turned to the Gentiles: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them :... 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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:21

Every one had four faces apiece ,.... Every one of the four living creatures, or cherubim, had four faces; which were the face of a man, of a lion, of an ox, and of an eagle, Ezekiel 1:10 ; and everyone four wings : the Septuagint version reads eight wings; and the Syriac version "six"; so many in all indeed they had; see Gill on Ezekiel 1:23 ; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings ; See Gill on Ezekiel 10:8 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:22

And the likeness of their faces was the same faces ,.... Or their faces were like the same, which I saw by the river of Chebar ; which prove that the living creatures and the cherubim must be the same: their appearance and themselves ; were exactly the same there was no difference in their faces or in their bodies: they went everyone straight forward ; their motion as well as their form were alike; they kept one even course, looking right on, and their eyes right before them. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:8

The form of a man's hand under their wings - I am still of opinion that the hands and wings were not distinct. The arms were feathered like wings, and the hand terminated the arm; but as the long front feathers of the wings would extend much beyond the fingers, hence the hands would appear to be under the wings. See on Ezekiel 1:8 ; (note). The human hand might be intended to show that God helps and punishes man by man; and that, in the general operations of his providence, he makes use of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:9

The color of a beryl stone - תרשיש אבן eben Tarshish , "the stone of Tarshish." The Vulgate translates it chrysolith; Symmachus, the jacinct; the Septuagint, the carbuncle. In the parallel place, Ezekiel 1:16 , it is תרשיש כעין keeyn Tarshish , "like the eye of Tarshish;" i.e., the color of tarshish, or the stone so called, which the Vulgate translates visio maris , "like the sea," i.e., azure. The beryl is a gem of a green color, passing from one side into blue, on the other... read more

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

A wheel had been in the midst of a wheel - It is difficult to comprehend this description. It is generally supposed to mean one wheel within another, cutting each other at right angles. This, in my opinion, will not account for the motions attributed to these wheels; nor can I see how, on this supposition, they could have any motion; for if one was moved on its axis, the other must be dragged contrary to its axis. I have conjectured it rather to mean a wheel within a wheel, or a wheel with... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:13

As for the wheels, it was cried unto them - O wheel - Never was there a more unfortunate and unmeaning translation. The word הגלגל haggalgal , may signify, simply, the roller, or a chariot, or roll on, or the swift roller. And he clepide ilke wheelis volible, or turninge about. Old MS. Bible. Any of these will do: "and as to the wheels," לאופנים laophannim , "they were called in my hearing" הגלגל haggalgal , "the chariot." The gentleman who took for his text "O wheel!" and made... read more
