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 up from above the cherubim and went over to the entrance of the Temple. The Temple was filled with this cloud of glory, and the courtyard glowed brightly with the glory of the LORD .

5 The moving wings of the cherubim sounded like the voice of God Almighty and could be heard even in the outer courtyard.

6 The LORD said to the man in linen clothing, “Go between the cherubim and take some burning coals from between the wheels.” So the man went in and stood beside one of the wheels.

7 Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand and took some live coals from the fire burning among them. He put the coals into the hands of the man in linen clothing, and the man took them and went out.

8 (All the cherubim had what looked like human hands under their wings.)
