15 Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures I had seen by the Kebar River.
15 And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.
15 And the cherubim mounted up. These were the living creatures that I saw by the Chebar canal.
15 Then the cherubim ascended. They were the same living creatures I had seen at the Kebar River.
15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This was the living creature I saw by the River Chebar.
15 Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the same living beings I had seen beside the Kebar River.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 10:15
Commentary on Ezekiel 10:8-22
(Read Ezekiel 10:8-22)
Ezekiel sees the working of Divine providence in the government of the lower world, and the affairs of it. When God is leaving a people in displeasure, angels above, and all events below, further his departure. The Spirit of life, the Spirit of God, directs all creatures, in heaven and on earth, so as to make them serve the Divine purpose. God removes by degrees from a provoking people; and, when ready to depart, would return to them, if they were a repenting, praying people. Let this warn sinners to seek the Lord while he may be found, and to call on him while he is near, and cause us all to walk humbly and watchfully with our God.
