Ezekiel 1:27

Ezekiel 10:19

10:19 The cherubim spread ³  their wings, and they rose up from the earth ⁴  while I watched (when they went the wheels went alongside them). They stopped at the entrance to the east gate of the Lord’s temple as the glory of the God of Israel hovered above them.

¹ tn See Ezek 1:4.

² tc The LXX lacks this phrase. Its absence from the LXX may be explained as a case of haplography resulting from homoioteleuton, skipping from כְּמַרְאֵה (kÿmar’eh) to מִמַּרְאֵה (mimmar’eh). On the other hand, the LXX presents a much more balanced verse structure when it is recognized that the final words of this verse belong in the next sentence.

³ tn Heb “lifted.”

⁴ tn Or “the ground” (NIV, NCV).
