Ezechiele 10:12

12 Vi era eziandio tutta la carne de’ Cherubini, e i lor dossi, e le lor mani, e le loro ali; e quant’è alle ruote, le lor quattro ruote erano piene d’occhi d’ogn’intorno.

Ezechiele 10:12 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 10:12

And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and
their wings
This is to be understood not of the wheels, to whom body or flesh, backs, hands, and wings, do not belong, but of the cherubim; and the sense is, that as the wheels were alike, and had one and the same form and appearance, so had the cherubim; they were exactly alike in their body, backs, hands, and wings; denoting the agreement between Gospel ministers, in their doctrine, work, and conversation: and the wheels [were] full of eyes round about;
that is, the rings or circles of the wheels, as in ( Ezekiel 1:18 ) ; signifying that churches consisted of enlightened persons, who had a sight of their sin and danger, and looked to Christ for salvation, and walked circumspectly, and watched over one another: [even] the wheels that they four had:
the wheels that belonged to the four living creatures or cherubim.

Ezechiele 10:12 In-Context

10 E quant’è alla lor sembianza, tutte e quattro erano d’una medesima sembianza; come se una ruota fosse stata in mezzo d’un’altra ruota.

11 Quando si movevano, si movevano tutte e quattro, ciascuna dal lato suo; e movendosi, non si volgevano qua e là; anzi là dove si volgeva il capo, esse si volgevano dietro a lui; movendosi, non si volgevano qua e là.

12 Vi era eziandio tutta la carne de’ Cherubini, e i lor dossi, e le lor mani, e le loro ali; e quant’è alle ruote, le lor quattro ruote erano piene d’occhi d’ogn’intorno.

13 E fu gridato alle ruote, udente me: O ruote.

14 E ciascun Cherubino avea quattro facce; la prima faccia era faccia di Cherubino; la seconda, faccia d’uomo; la terza, faccia di leone; e la quarta, faccia d’aquila.
