Ezekiel 10:9 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Looked; attentively viewed. The four wheels; mentioned Ezekiel 1:15,16, and there explained. By the cherubims; one wheel by one cherub, so four cherubims and four wheels. The appearance of the wheels; the revolutions and effects among worldly and sublunary affairs; as wheels unstable, yet governed by a sure wisdom. As the colour of a beryl stone; of sea-green, to note the instability in a more pregnant simile.

Ezekiel 10:9

9 And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone.
