And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also [were] beside them, and [every one] stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD'S house; and the glory of the God of Israel [was] over them above.
Ver. 19. Over the east gate.] The gate of the court where the people met, and prayed with their faces westward; here now stood the cherubims, and here stood the glory over them, that all the city might see that God was going from them, and seek by all good means to retain him with them.
