Ezekiel 10:14 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 10:14

And everyone had four faces
That is, everyone of the wheels, for of these the words are continued; and which agrees with ( Ezekiel 1:15 ) ; (See Gill on Ezekiel 1:15): the first face [was] the face of a cherub;
this being in the room of the ox's face, ( Ezekiel 1:10 ) , shows that the face of an ox and a cherub are the same; and that the living creatures have the general name of cherubim, from the face of an ox; and are so called from (brk) , which in the Syriac and Chaldee languages signifies to "plough", that creature being made use of in such service: and the second face [was] the face of a man, and the third the face of
a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle;
how these are applicable to Gospel churches, and the true members of them, (See Gill on Ezekiel 1:15).

Ezekiel 10:14 In-Context

12 And the edges of the four wheels were full of eyes round about.

13 As for the wheels, they were named in my hearing, the circling wheels.

14 And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a winged one, and the second was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

15 And the winged ones went up on high: this is the living being which I saw by the river Chebar.

16 And when the winged ones went, the wheels went by their side: and when their wings were lifted to take them up from the earth, the wheels were not turned from their side.
