Ezekiel 10:9
_ _ wheels — (See on Ezekiel 1:15, Ezekiel 1:16). The things which, from Ezekiel 10:8 to the end of the chapter, are repeated from the first chapter are expressed more decidedly, now that he gets a nearer view: the words “as it were,” and “as if,” so often occurring in the first chapter, are therefore mostly omitted. The “wheels" express the manifold changes and revolutions in the world; also that in the chariot of His providence God transports the Church from one place to another and everywhere can preserve it; a truth calculated to alarm the people in Jerusalem and to console the exiles [Polanus]. |
Ezekiel 10:9
Looked — Attentively viewed. Beryl stone — Of sea — green. |

Ezekiel 1:15-17 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces. ... When they went, they went upon their four sides: [and] they turned not when they went.

- as the:
Daniel 10:6 His body also [was] like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
Revelation 21:20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

- a beryl:
- Tarshish is generally rendered by the LXX and the Vulgate the chrysolite, so called by the ancients (from χρυσος (χρψσος) [Strong's G5557], gold, and λιθος [Strong's G3037], a stone), because of its fine gold yellow colour. It is now called by the moderns the topaz; is a very beautiful and valuable gem in its pure and perfect state, though very rarely found so; and the finer pieces of it are in hardness second only to the diamond. The Vulgate, however, in
Ezekiel 1:16 The appearance of the wheels and their work [was] like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work [was] as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
, renders, quasi visio maris "as the appearance of the seas," i.e., azure; and Dr. Geddes (on
Exodus 28:10 Six of their names on one stone, and [the other] six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.
) says, that, with Abarbanel, he believes the beryl to be intended. It is a pellucid gem, called by our lapidaries, aqua marina of a sea or bluish green colour, found in the East Indies and about the gold mines of Peru. The genuine beryl never receives any other mixture of colour; and in its perfect state approaches the hardness of garnet.
