Ezekiel 10:12

12 And all their flesh and their ribs and their hands and their wings and the wheels: they were full of eyes round about in their four wheels.

Ezekiel 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.

Ezekiel 10:12 In-Context

10 And as for their appearance, the four were the same, as if one were in the midst of another.

11 When they went, they went upon their four sides; they did not turn as they went, but to the place where the first one went, they followed it; they did not turn as they went.

12 And all their flesh and their ribs and their hands and their wings and the wheels: they were full of eyes round about in their four wheels.

13 To the wheels, it was shouted unto them in my hearing, Roll!

14 And each one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherubim; the second face was the face of a man; the third the face of a lion; the fourth the face of an eagle.
