Ezekiel 10:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 10:6

And it came to pass, [that] when he had commanded the man
clothed with linen
After the orders were given by him that was upon the throne to the man thus described: saying, take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubim;
as in ( Ezekiel 10:2 ) ; then he went in;
immediately, into the place where the wheels and cherubim were; even under the firmament of heaven, and the throne that was in it: and stood beside the wheels,
or "wheel"; to see what it was, as Kimchi thinks; or rather in order to go in between them, as he was bid to do, ( Ezekiel 10:2 ) .

Ezekiel 10:6 In-Context

4 Then the glory of the LORD rose from above the cherubim. It moved to the doorway of the temple. The cloud filled the temple. And the courtyard was full of the brightness of the glory of the Lord.

5 The sound the wings of the cherubim made could be heard as far away as the outer courtyard. It was like the voice of the Mighty God when he speaks.

6 The LORD gave a command to the man who was dressed in linen clothes. He said, "Get some coals of fire from among the wheels. Take them from among the cherubim." So the man went in and stood beside a wheel.

7 Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand. He picked up some of the burning coals that were among the wheels. He handed them to the man who was wearing linen clothes. The man took them and left.

8 I saw what looked like a man's hands. They were under the wings of the cherubim.
