Ezekiel 10:13

"Their whole body, including their backs, their hands, their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, even the wheels that the four of them had."

Key Reflection

This verse suggests a comprehensive and vigilant presence of God's glory, with eyes symbolizing His omniscience and constant awareness extending not just to the obvious parts but also to the hidden aspects—highlighting His all-encompassing watchfulness in every detail of creation and revelation.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

According to the marginal rendering the present verse refers back toEzekiel 10:2,Ezekiel 10:6, and tells us that the name “galgal, a rolling thing” (compareIsaiah 17:13), was given to the wheels in the seer’s hearing. But takingEzekiel 10:14as a description, and readingEzekiel 10:15immediately afterEzekiel 10:13, the meaning is clear. In the hearing Of the seer a voice calls upon the wheels, and, obedient to the call, the cherubim are lifted up and the wheels roll on.
