Yechezkel 10:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 10:8

And there appeared in the cherubim
The Septuagint version is, "I saw the cherubim"; and so the Syriac version, "I saw in the cherubim"; what follows: the form of a man's hand under their wings;
one of them put forth his hand, which was seen by the prophet, as declared in ( Ezekiel 10:7 ) ; but this was only the "form" of one; which is observed to show that it is not to be taken literally, but as seen in the vision of prophecy; and being under their wings denotes secrecy and privacy: and the whole being applied to the ministers of the word is expressive of their activity and diligence in the work of the Lord, both in private and in public; and that they make no boast nor show of their works and labours, and ascribe nothing to themselves, but all to the grace of God that is with them, ( 1 Corinthians 15:10 ) ; (See Gill on Ezekiel 1:8).

Yechezkel 10:8 In-Context

6 And it came to pass, that when He had commanded the ish clothed with linen, saying, Take eish from between the Galgal (Wheelwork), from between the Keruvim; then he went in, and stood beside the Ofan (Wheel).

7 And one Keruv stretched forth his yad from between the Keruvim unto the eish that was between the Keruvim, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.

8 And Keruvim appeared to have the tavnit (form) of a yad adam under their kenafayim (wings).

9 And when I looked, hinei, the four Ofanim (wheels) by the Keruvim, one Ofan beside one Keruv, and another Ofan beside another Keruv: and the appearance of the Ofanim was like the color of tarshish even (stone).

10 And as for their appearance, there was one demut (likeness) for the four of them, like that it was the Ofan within the Ofan.
