Ezekiel 10:1 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

EZEKIEL CHAPTER 10 The vision, of the coals of fire, which are ordered to be taken from between the cherubims, and scattered over the city, Ezekiel 10:1-7. The vision of the cherubims and the glory of God removing from the temple, Ezekiel 10:8-22. Then, or And, which connecting this with the ninth chapter, will connote the time wherein he thus saw. I looked, in spirit or vision; and this vision is the same of Eze 1., repeated, or very little differing from it, and with some particular design, which that of Eze 1 did not express, viz. a design of leaving the temple and city desolate. In the firmament: see Ezekiel 1:22,26. The cherubims; called living creatures Ezekiel 1:5, which see. A sapphire stone: see Ezekiel 1:26,27, where these things are spoken to.

Ezekiel 10:1

1 Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
