Ezekiel 10:1-22 KJV

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:1

1. “Behold… as it were a sapphire stone, with the appearance of the likeness of a throne upon it” (LXX.). The glory of the Lord has returned from the threshold of the house (Ezekiel 9:3) and the prophet now sees it above the cherubim. If we follow the Septuagint it is not the color of the throne which is described as sapphire, but of the foundation, “the firmament” upon which rests the throne; and this agrees with Exodus 24:10, and Revelation 21:19. It is a very curious fact, pointed out by... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:2

2. Between the wheels Literally, whirling; a different word from the one formerly used for wheel. It is used also in Ezekiel 10:13, and signifies that the wheels are all the time moving like a whirlwind. (Compare also Psalms 77:18; Ezekiel 33:23.) It is used, not of a single wheel, but of the entire “wheelwork,” or chariot. Coals of fire That which previously the prophet had only ventured to describe as appearing like coals of fire (Ezekiel 1:13) he now sees can be handled and used... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:3

3. Right side Or, south side of the temple. Ezekiel, coming through the north door into the outer court of the sanctuary, sees just in front of him the cherubim and the throne. He states the position in order to show that he had the best possible opportunity to see what happened when the man went into the fire. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:4

4. The glory of the Lord went up The cherubim remained, but Jehovah once more removed to the threshold (Ezekiel 9:3). Was this in order to view the execution of his commands in the burning of the city? This is wholly conjecture. Perhaps the idea is that otherwise the man could not have had the strength to fulfill his commission. Ezekiel (Ezekiel 1:28; Ezekiel 3:23) could not stand near God’s glory; how much less would he have been able to enter his chariot! The house was filled with the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:5

5. Even to the outer court See comments Ezekiel 8:16; Ezekiel 9:3. We consider the glory to be over the threshold of the inner court, near the sanctuary. The voice of the Almighty God The Hebrews often spoke of the thunder as the voice of El Shaddai, or Jehovah (Psalms 29:0). The movements of the cherubs’ wings, as they made ready to accompany their Master, though detained by divine will, could be heard even into the court of the Gentiles, and sounded like the noise of thunder. “‘El... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:7

7. And one cherub Literally, the cherub the one nearest to him. Even though the divine glory is compassionately absent, yet human weakness seems to be inadequate to the task assigned until the guardian of the divine honor assists him in doing what was commanded. (Compare Isaiah 6:5-6.) We lose sight now of this man clothed with linen, and there is no attempt whatever to picture the conflagration. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:8

8. “And something like a human hand became visible on the cherubs under their wings.” Kautzsch. Ezekiel could not have known it, but in view of the incarnation there is an added beauty in this picture of a man’s hand beneath these symbolical representations of universal life. The hand that moves the world is the hand that made it the hand of “the man Christ Jesus.” (See note Ezekiel 1:26.) read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:12

12. The prophet now sees, what escaped him at the first appearance of these creatures (Ezekiel 1:5-13), that they, as well as the wheels, were full of eyes. Though the movements of the living creatures and the wheels were like lightning there was nothing capricious or blind about these. An infinite knowledge guided their activity. (Compare Revelation 4:6.) As has been said, the prophet receives here a new impression of the all-seeing eye of Jehovah. Everywhere as he stands face to face with... read more
