Ezekiel 10:8-9 - Exposition

The description of the theophany that follows, though essentially identical with that in Ezekiel 1:1-28 is not a literal transcript of it. The prophet struggles, as before, to relate what he has actually seen in the visions of God. The fact is stated as explaining the mention of the "hand" in Ezekiel 1:7 . That, as in Ezekiel 1:8 , was one of their members (see notes on Ezekiel 1:15-17 ). All that had seemed most startling and awful to him on the banks of Chebar is now seen again—the four living creatures, now named cherubim.the wheel by each, the unswerving motion of the wheels in their onward course.
