Ezekiel 10:21 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 10:21

Every one had four faces apiece
Every one of the four living creatures, or cherubim, had four faces; which were the face of a man, of a lion, of an ox, and of an eagle, ( Ezekiel 1:10 ) ; and everyone four wings:
the Septuagint version reads eight wings; and the Syriac version "six"; so many in all indeed they had, (See Gill on Ezekiel 1:23); and the likeness of the hands of a man [was] under their wings;
(See Gill on Ezekiel 10:8).

Ezekiel 10:21 In-Context

19 And the cherubims lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight. When they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD'S house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over above them.

20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the River of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.

21 Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings, and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

22 And the likeness of their faces was the same as the faces which I saw by the River of Chebar, their appearances and themselves. They went every one straight forward.
