Ezekiel 10:15 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 10:15

And the cherubim were lifted up
From the earth; (See Gill on Ezekiel 1:19); this [is] the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar:
a river in Chaldea, where the prophet was when he had the vision of the living creatures recorded in the "first" chapter; and hence it is out of doubt that the living creatures and the cherubim are the same.

Ezekiel 10:15 In-Context

13 Concerning the wheels, he [was] calling them "the wheelwork" {in my hearing}.

14 And {each one had four faces}; the face of the one [was] the face of a cherub, and the face of the second [was the] face of a human, and the face of the third [was the] face of a lion, and the fourth [was the] face of an eagle.

15 And the cherubim rose; that is, the living creatures that I saw at the {Kebar River}.

16 And {when the cherubim went}, the wheels beside them went; and {when the cherubim lifted their wings to rise up from the earth}, the wheels also did not turn aside from beside them.

17 {When they stood}, they stood, and at their rising, they rose with them, for the spirit of the living creatures [was] in them.
