Ezequiel 10:17 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 10:17

When they stood, [these] stood
When the one were inactive, lifeless, and without motion, making no progress in knowledge, experience, and practice, the other were so likewise; (See Gill on Ezekiel 1:21); and when they were lifted up, [these] lifted up themselves [also];
like people, like priest, whether in things commendable or not, ( Hosea 4:9 ) ; for the spirit of the living creature [was] in them;
the same spirit that was in the cherubim was in the wheels; and the same Spirit of God, who is a "spirit of life" ^F3, as the words may be rendered, is in the churches, as in the ministers; generally speaking, if the one are lively, the other are also, and both move as they are acted by the Spirit; and also their motion from place to place, which is spoken of in ( Ezekiel 10:18 ) , is directed by the Spirit; see ( Acts 16:6 Acts 16:7 ) .

Ezequiel 10:17 In-Context

15 E os querubins se elevaram ao alto. Eles são os mesmos seres viventes que vi junto ao rio Quebar.

16 E quando os querubins andavam, andavam as rodas ao lado deles; e quando os querubins levantavam as suas asas, para se elevarem da terra, também as rodas não se separavam do lado deles.

17 Quando aqueles paravam, paravam estas; e quando aqueles se elevavam, estas se elevavam com eles; pois o espírito do ser vivente estava nelas.

18 Então saiu a glória do Senhor de sobre a entrada da casa, e parou sobre os querubins.

19 E os querubins alçaram as suas asas, e se elevaram da terra � minha vista, quando saíram, acompanhados pelas rodas ao lado deles; e pararam � entrada da porta oriental da casa do Senhor, e a glória do Deus de Israel estava em cima sobre eles.
