George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:15

Creature. What I saw, was properly called cherubim. Charab, in Syriac means "to labour;" (Spencer) or cherubim may imply any composed and unusual figure, or "mixture," Exodus xxv. 18. (Calmet) --- Ezechiel being a priest, saw that the creatures resembled the cherubim of the temple. (Tirinus) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:8-22

8-22 Ezekiel sees the working of Divine providence in the government of the lower world, and the affairs of it. When God is leaving a people in displeasure, angels above, and all events below, further his departure. The Spirit of life, the Spirit of God, directs all creatures, in heaven and on earth, so as to make them serve the Divine purpose. God removes by degrees from a provoking people; and, when ready to depart, would return to them, if they were a repenting, praying people. Let this warn... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 10:9-22

The Removal of Jehovah from his Temple v. 9. And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub and another wheel by another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was as the color of a beryl stone, as in the first vision, chapter 1. v. 10. And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel, at right angles, as in the case of a gyroscope. v. 11. When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 10:1-22

3. The Coals of Fire on the City (Ch. 10).1And I saw, and, behold, on the expanse that was above the head of the cherubim,—as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne was seen [appeared] over them. 2And He spake unto the man clothed in linen, and said, Come hither between the wheels, hither under the cherub, and fill thy two hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter over 3the city. And he came before mine eyes. And the cherubim stood on the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 10:1-22

The prophet next described the process of judgment. First, a preliminary vision was granted to him. The man with the inkhorn who had passed through the midst of the city, setting his mark on the sighing and crying men, was commanded to pass in between the whirling wheels and gather coals of fire in his hand and scatter them over the city. Then appeared the glory of Jehovah over the threshold of the house, and the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard. Visions of the glory of God,... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:15-17

‘And the cherubim mounted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the River Chebar. And when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them, and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also turned not from beside them. When they stood, these stood, and when they mounted up these mounted up with them, for the spirit of the living creature was in them.’ The description of the cherubim mounting up (see Ezekiel 10:19) immediately leads into an... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:9-22

Ezekiel 10:9-Song of Solomon : . This splendid passage is followed by a description of the Divine chariot ( Ezekiel 10:9-Esther :) which does little more than duplicate the description in Ezekiel 1:15-Ecclesiastes :, and which, to a modern taste, seems of the nature of an irrelevance and anticlimax. The point of the repetition, however, is suggested by Ezekiel 10:20; Ezekiel 10:22, which identify the chariot seen at Jerusalem with that seen in the former vision by the Chebar. It is as if... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 10:15

Were lifted up; or lifted up themselves, ready to attend on the Lord of glory, who was now departing from his polluted and impenitent people. The living creature: see Ezekiel 1:13-15,Ezekiel 1:19-22. read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 10:9-22

EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Ezekiel 10:9-22. The description of the cherubim and of their movements is similar to, but independent of, that given in chap. 1. Ezekiel is not prostrated as at first, and seems to see the subordinate details of the vision more distinctly. On this occasion the appearances were to be closely observed, being of great significance to the whole house of Israel. He has to connect that which he saw in the land of exile with this in the temple. He has thus a proof that he is no... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:1-22

Chapter 10And then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament [the heaven] that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne ( Ezekiel 10:1 ).Again, the vision of the throne of God, similar to that which he had by the river Chebar in chapter 1.And as he spake unto the man that was clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill your hand with the coals of fire from... read more
