Ezekiel 10:19 ESV

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 10:19

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

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

; and Ezekiel 11:22 , Ezekiel 11:23 The withdrawal of the presence of God from a guilty people. "Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub, and stood over tile threshold of the house," etc. These verses, which are all essentially related to one subject, suggest the following observations. I. THAT GOD NEVER WITHDRAWS HIS GRACIOUS PRESENCE FROM A PERSON OR A NATION UNTIL THEY HAVE QUITE FORSAKEN HIM . The chosen people had despised his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 10:19

The departure has the east gate of the Lord's house for its starting point. By that gate, in the later vision of the restored temple, the glory of the Lord was to return ( Ezekiel 43:4 ). For "every one" read "it," sc. the galgal, or complex structure of the chariot. The Hebrew verb is in the singular, but, as the italics show, there is no word answering to "every one." read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 10:19

The cherubim (or chariot) had stood first on the threshold of the temple-door, and there received the glory of the Lord. They then lifted their wings, rose, and left the temple by “the east gate” of the outer court at “the entrance” of which they now for a time stood. It was by the east gate of the outer court that the glory of the Lord returned to the new temple Ezekiel 43:4.And every one stood - Or, “and” they “stood.” The Cheruibim and wheels are viewed as “one living creature.” read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 10:18-19

Ezekiel 10:18-19. Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold, &c. The cloud of glory, emblematical of the divine presence, now makes a further remove from the temple: it now quite left the house itself, and settled upon the cherubim, which stood in the court adjoining to it, Ezekiel 10:3. And the cherubims lifted up their wings: the wheels also See Ezekiel 1:19; Ezekiel 1:26. And stood at the door of the east gate This was a still further remove from the temple, (for... 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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 10:9-22

God’s preparations to depart from the temple 10:9-22"God would not share His dwelling place with other ’gods,’ and the sanctuary had been polluted with idolatry. God’s worship center at Shiloh was removed shortly after His glory had departed from it (1 Samuel 4:1-4; 1 Samuel 4:10-11; 1 Samuel 4:19-22; Jeremiah 7:12-14); and the same fate awaited the Jerusalem temple."
