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 Their entire bodies, including their backs, hands, and wings, were full of eyes all around, as were their four wheels.

13 I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels.”

14 Each of the cherubim had four faces: the first face was that of a cherub, the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.

15 Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures I had seen by the River Kebar.

16 When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them, and even when they spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not veer away from their side.
