And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.
This is the living creature that I saw by the river ... Chebar. The repeated declaration of the identity of the vision with that at the Chebar is to arouse attention to it (so Ezekiel 10:22; Ezekiel 3:23).
The living creature - used collectively, as in Ezekiel 10:17; Ezekiel 10:20; Ezekiel 1:20.
