Ezekiel 10:12 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.

Their whole body - literally, flesh, because a body consists of flesh.

And the wheels, were full of eyes. The description (Ezekiel 1:18) attributes eyes to the "wheels" alone; here there is added, on closer observation, that the cherubim themselves had them. The "eyes" imply that God, by His wisdom, beautifully reconciles seeming contrarieties (cf. 2 Chronicles 16:9; Proverbs 15:3; Zechariah 4:10).
