Ezekiel 1:15

1:15 Then I looked, ¹  and I saw one wheel ²  on the ground ³  beside each of the four beings.

Ezekiel 10:9

10:9 As I watched, I noticed ⁴  four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub; ⁵  the wheels gleamed like jasper. ⁶ 

[1:15]  ¹ tc The MT adds “at the living beings” which is absent from the LXX.

[1:15]  ² sn Another vision which includes wheels on thrones occurs in Dan 7:9. Ezek 10 contains a vision similar to this one.

[1:15]  ³ tn The Hebrew word may be translated either “earth” or “ground” in this context.

[10:9]  ⁴ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

[10:9]  ⁵ tn The MT repeats this phrase, a clear case of dittography.

[10:9]  ⁶ tn Heb “Tarshish stone.” The meaning is uncertain. The term has also been translated “topaz” (NEB), “beryl” (KJV, NASB, NRSV), and “chrysolite” (RSV, NIV).
