Yechezkel 10:21 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 10:21

Every one had four faces apiece
Every one of the four living creatures, or cherubim, had four faces; which were the face of a man, of a lion, of an ox, and of an eagle, ( Ezekiel 1:10 ) ; and everyone four wings:
the Septuagint version reads eight wings; and the Syriac version "six"; so many in all indeed they had, (See Gill on Ezekiel 1:23); and the likeness of the hands of a man [was] under their wings;
(See Gill on Ezekiel 10:8).

Yechezkel 10:21 In-Context

19 And the Keruvim lifted up their kenafayim (wings), and mounted up from ha’aretz before my eyes: when they went out, the Ofanim also were beside them, and every one stood at the petach sha’ar Beis Hashem hakadmoni (eastern gate of the Beis HaMikdash of Hashem); and the Kavod Elohei Yisroel was over them from above.
20 This is the Chayah that I saw under Elohei Yisroel by the Kevar River; and I knew that they were the Keruvim.
21 Every one had four panim (faces) each, and every one four kenafayim (wings); and the demut (likeness) of the yedei adam (human hand) was under their kenafayim (wings).
22 And the demut (likeness) of their panim (faces) was the same panim which I saw by the Kevar River, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
