Ezekiel 10:15

15 and the cherubims were raised [up]. That is the beast, which I had seen beside the flood Chebar. (and then the cherubim raised themselves up. These were the same creatures, which I had seen by the Chebar River.)

Ezekiel 10:15 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 10:15

And the cherubim were lifted up
From the earth; (See Gill on Ezekiel 1:19); this [is] the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar:
a river in Chaldea, where the prophet was when he had the vision of the living creatures recorded in the "first" chapter; and hence it is out of doubt that the living creatures and the cherubim are the same.

Ezekiel 10:15 In-Context

13 And he called those wheels voluble, or able to go all about, in mine hearing.
14 Forsooth one beast had four faces; one face was the face of cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and in the third was the face of a lion, and in the fourth was the face of an eagle; (And one creature, or one cherub, had four faces; the first face was the face of a cherub/the first face was the face of an ox, or of a bull, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third face was the face of a lion, and the fourth face was the face of an eagle;)
15 and the cherubims were raised [up]. That is the beast, which I had seen beside the flood Chebar. (and then the cherubim raised themselves up. These were the same creatures, which I had seen by the Chebar River.)
16 And when cherubims went, also the wheels beside those went together (with them); when the cherubims raised [up] their wings, that those should be enhanced from the earth, the wheels abided not still, but also those were beside cherubims. (And when the cherubim went, the wheels also went beside them; and when the cherubim raised up their wings, so that they would be lifted up from the earth, the wheels were not still, but they went up beside the cherubim.)
17 The wheels stood with those cherubims standing, and were raised [up] with the cherubims raised [up]; for the spirit of life was in those wheels. (The wheels stopped when the cherubim stopped, and were raised, or were lifted, up when the cherubim were lifted up; for the spirit of life was in those wheels.)
