As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.
It was cried unto them ... O wheel! Rather, 'they were called, Whirling' - i:e., they were most rapid their revolutions (Maurer); or, better, 'it was cried unto them, The whirling' (Fairbairn). Galgal (H1534), here used for "wheel," is different from 'owpan (H212), the simple word for "wheel." See note on "wheels" Ezekiel 10:2. Galgal (H1534) is the whole wheel-work machinery, with its whirlwind-like rotation. Their being so addressed is in order to call them immediately to put themselves in rapid motion.
