Ezekiel 10:21 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 10:21

Every one had four faces apiece
Every one of the four living creatures, or cherubim, had four faces; which were the face of a man, of a lion, of an ox, and of an eagle, ( Ezekiel 1:10 ) ; and everyone four wings:
the Septuagint version reads eight wings; and the Syriac version "six"; so many in all indeed they had, (See Gill on Ezekiel 1:23); and the likeness of the hands of a man [was] under their wings;
(See Gill on Ezekiel 10:8).

Ezekiel 10:21 In-Context

19 And the winged ones, lifting up their wings, went up from the earth before my eyes, with the wheels by their side: and they came to rest at the east doorway of the Lord's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them on high.

20 This is the living being which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and it was clear to me that they were the winged ones.

21 Every one had four faces and every one had four wings; and hands like a man's hands were under their wings.

22 As for the form of their faces, they were the faces whose form I saw by the river Chebar; when they went, every one of them went straight forward.
