Ezekiel 10:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 10:10

And [as for] their appearances, they four had one likeness,
&c.] They were exactly like one another; they were all composed of the same matter, had all the colour of a beryl stone, were all in the same form of a wheel; and in matter, form, and shape, entirely tallied and agreed one with another, as true Gospel churches do: (See Gill on Ezekiel 1:16); as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel:
not included in one another, but were formed in a cross or transverse way; (See Gill on Ezekiel 1:16).

Ezekiel 10:10 In-Context

8 And [there] appeared for the cherubim [the] form of {a human hand} under their wings.
9 And I saw, and look, four wheels beside the cherubim, {one wheel beside each cherub}, and the appearance of the wheels [was] like [the] outward appearance of {turquoise stone}.
10 Their appearance {was the same for each of the four of them}, as if the wheel was in the midst of a wheel.
11 {When they went} to the four of their directions [that] they went, they did not change direction {when they went}, for the place [to] which the head turned, they went behind him; they did not change direction at their going.
12 And {their whole body}, and their rims, and their spokes, and their wings, and the wheels [were] full of eyes [all] around--{the wheels for the four of them}.
