Verse 14
And everyone had four faces ,.... That is, everyone of the wheels, for of these the words are continued; and which agrees with Ezekiel 1:15 ; See Gill on Ezekiel 1:15 ,
the first face was the face of a cherub ; this being in the room of the ox's face, Ezekiel 1:10 , shows that the face of an ox and a cherub are the same; and that the living creatures have the general name of cherubim, from the face of an ox; and are so called from כרב , which in the Syriac and Chaldee languages signifies to "plough", that creature being made use of in such service:
and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle ; how these are applicable to Gospel churches, and the true members of them; see Gill on Ezekiel 1:15 .
