_ _ they ... had the face of a man — namely, in front. The human face was the primary and prominent one and the fundamental part of the composite whole. On its right was the lion’s face; on the left, the ox’s (called “cherub,” Ezekiel 10:14); at the back from above was the eagle’s.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

A man — Each face is compared to what is most excellent in its kind, man excels in wisdom, lions in strength, the ox in patience and constancy of labour, the eagle in speed and high flight.
