Ezekiel 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).

Ezekiel 10:21 In-Context

19 And the cherubims lifting up their wings, were raised from the earth before me: and as they went out, the wheels also followed: and it stood in the entry of the east gate of the house of the Lord: and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.

20 This is the living creature, which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chobar: and I understood that they were cherubims.

21 Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings: and the likeness of a man’s hand was under their wings.

22 And as to the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces which I had seen by the river Chobar, and their looks, and the impulse of every one to go straight forward.
