Ezekiel 10:7

10:7 Then one of the cherubim ¹  stretched out his hand ²  toward the fire which was among the cherubim. He took some and put it into the hands of the man dressed in linen, who took it and left.

Ezekiel 10:9

10:9 As I watched, I noticed ³  four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub; ⁴  the wheels gleamed like jasper. ⁵ 

[10:7]  ¹ tn Heb “the cherub.”

[10:7]  ² tn The Hebrew text adds, “from among the cherubim.”

[10:9]  ³ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

[10:9]  ⁴ tn The MT repeats this phrase, a clear case of dittography.

[10:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “Tarshish stone.” The meaning is uncertain. The term has also been translated “topaz” (NEB), “beryl” (KJV, NASB, NRSV), and “chrysolite” (RSV, NIV).
