Ezequiel 10:11

11 Cuando andaban, se movían en las cuatro direcciones, sin volverse cuando andaban, sino que seguían la dirección en que ponían el rostro, sin volverse cuando andaban.

Ezequiel 10:11 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 10:11

When they went, they went upon their four sides
Which four sides they had, by being made in the transverse way before mentioned; just as the New Jerusalem church state is said to be foursquare, ( Revelation 21:16 ) ; and this may denote the uniformity of Gospel churches in every state and condition, prosperous and adverse; and the constancy of their walk, conduct, and conversation: they turned not as they went:
neither to the right hand or the left, but went on in the path of faith and duty, keeping close to the word of God, and keeping up a conversation, discipline, and worship, according to it: but to the place where the head looked they, followed it;
meaning either the rulers, guides, and governors of churches, pastors and elders; whose faith and conversation are followed by the members: or rather Christ himself, the head of the church, who is to be followed whithersoever he goes or directs: unless by the head is meant the same as the spirit, ( Ezekiel 1:20 ) ; the Spirit of God, by whom the true members of Gospel churches are led, and after whom they walk. The Targum is,

``the place to which the first turned (or looked), after it they went;''

that is, the first of the wheels; and so may signify that the primitive churches are the pattern after which all the churches in after ages are to go; they turned not as they went;
this is repeated partly for the confirmation of it; and partly to excite attention to it, as being worthy of observation; (See Gill on Ezekiel 1:17).

Ezequiel 10:11 In-Context

9 Entonces miré, y he aquí, había cuatro ruedas junto a los querubines, cada rueda junto a cada querubín; el aspecto de las ruedas era como el brillo de una piedra de Tarsis.

10 En cuanto a su apariencia, las cuatro tenían la misma semejanza, como si una rueda estuviera dentro de la otra rueda.

11 Cuando andaban, se movían en las cuatro direcciones, sin volverse cuando andaban, sino que seguían la dirección en que ponían el rostro, sin volverse cuando andaban.

12 Y todo su cuerpo, sus espaldas, sus manos, sus alas y las ruedas estaban llenos de ojos alrededor, las ruedas de los cuatro.

13 A las ruedas se les llamó torbellino, y yo lo oí.
