Ezekiel 1:23

1:23 Under the platform their wings were stretched out, each toward the other. Each of the beings also had two wings covering ¹  its body.

Ezekiel 1:26

1:26 Above the platform over their heads was something like a sapphire shaped like a throne. High above on the throne was a form that appeared to be a man.

Ezekiel 10:1

God’s Glory Leaves the Temple

10:1 As I watched, I saw ²  on the platform ³  above the top of the cherubim something like a sapphire, resembling the shape of a throne, appearing above them.

¹ tc Heb “each had two wings covering and each had two wings covering,” a case of dittography. On the analogy of v. 11 and the support of the LXX, which reads the same for v. 11 and this verse, one should perhaps read “each had two wings touching another being and each had two wings covering.”

² tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

³ tn Or “like a dome.” See 1:22-26.
