As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four.
Their rings - i:e., felloes, or circumferences of the wheels.
Were full of eyes. The multiplicity of eyes here in the wheels, and, Ezekiel 10:12, in the cherubim themselves, symbolizes the plenitude of intelligent life, the eye being the window through which "the spirit of the living creatures" in the wheels (Ezekiel 1:20) looks forth (cf. Zechariah 4:10). As the wheels signify the providence of God, so the eyes imply that He sees all the circumstances of each case, and does nothing by blind impulse.
