Ezekiel 1:19 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

When the living creatures went, the wheels went by them; the wheels motion or standing depended on the motion and assistance of some higher agent which excited and guided them, when therefore the living creatures, the angels, ministers of God's will, moved, then did those affairs expressed by wheels move also. There was an exact accord between these, they were as well joined in motion as they were in station. When the living creatures were lifted up; moved higher above our ordinary reach. From the earth; that basis on which both the wheels seemed to stand, and from which sometimes they seemed to lift up themselves, as if to fetch a new commission and order from him that sat upon the throne.

Ezekiel 1:19

19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
