Ezekiel 10:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 10:6

And it came to pass, [that] when he had commanded the man
clothed with linen
After the orders were given by him that was upon the throne to the man thus described: saying, take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubim;
as in ( Ezekiel 10:2 ) ; then he went in;
immediately, into the place where the wheels and cherubim were; even under the firmament of heaven, and the throne that was in it: and stood beside the wheels,
or "wheel"; to see what it was, as Kimchi thinks; or rather in order to go in between them, as he was bid to do, ( Ezekiel 10:2 ) .

Ezekiel 10:6 In-Context

4 Then the glory of the LORD rose from above the cherubim and moved to the threshold of the temple. The cloud filled the temple, and the court was full of the radiance of the glory of the LORD.
5 The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far away as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
6 When the LORD commanded the man in linen, “Take fire from among the wheels, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.
7 Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand to the fire that was among them. He took up some of it and put it into the hands of the man in linen, who took it and went out.
8 (Under the wings of the cherubim could be seen what looked like human hands.)
