Ezekiel 10:9 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 10:9

And when I looked, behold, the four wheels by the cherubim,
&c.] The churches by the ministers: of these "wheels", and why the churches are so called, and of their number "four", and their situation "by" the cherubim, (See Gill on Ezekiel 1:15); one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub:
a minister to a church; every church has its own pastor, elder, or overseer, by it, and over it: and the appearance of the wheels [was] as the colour of a beryl stone;
a precious stone of a sea green; (See Gill on Ezekiel 1:16). The Targum renders it in general, "a precious stone"; the Septuagint version, "a carbuncle"; and the Vulgate Latin version, "a chrysolite".

Ezekiel 10:9 In-Context

7 One living creature put out his hand to the fire that was among them, took some of the fire, and put it in the hands of the man dressed in linen. Then the man took the fire and went out.

8 Something that looked like a human hand could be seen under the wings of the living creatures.

9 I saw the four wheels by the living creatures, one wheel by each living creature. The wheels looked like shining chrysolite.

10 All four wheels looked alike: Each looked like a wheel crossways inside another wheel.

11 When the wheels moved, they went in any of the directions that the four living creatures faced. The wheels did not turn about, and the living creatures did not turn their bodies as they went.
