Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 1:23

_ _ straight — erect [Fairbairn], expanded upright.

_ _ two ... two ... covered ... bodies — not, as it might seem, contradicting Ezekiel 1:11. The two wings expanded upwards, though chiefly used for flying, yet up to the summit of the figure where they were parted from each other, covered the upper part of the body, while the other two wings covered the lower parts.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 1:15-25.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 1:23

Under — Below at a great distance, stood these living creatures. Straight — Stretched forth, ready for motion. One — Each of the four had two other wings with which they covered their bodies.
