Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 1:27

_ _ colour of amber — “the glitter of chasmal” [Fairbairn]. See on Ezekiel 1:4; rather, “polished brass” [Henderson]. Messiah is described here as in Daniel 10:5, Daniel 10:6; Revelation 1:14, Revelation 1:15.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 1:26-28.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 1:27

Amber — In this colour does Christ appear against the rebellious Jews; he that would have visited them clothed with the garments of salvation, now puts on the garments of vengeance, expressed by such metaphors. Brightness — Majesty, justice, and unstained holiness, shine round about him.
