NETBible

Wherever the spirit¹ would go, they would go,² and the wheels would rise up beside them because the spirit³ of the living being was in the wheel.

NET Notes

¹tn Or “wind”; the same Hebrew word can be translated as either “wind” or “spirit” depending on the context.

²tc The MT adds the additional phrase “the spirit would go,” which seems unduly redundant here and may be dittographic.

³tn Or “wind.” The Hebrew is difficult since the text presents four creatures and then talks about “the spirit” (singular) of “the living being” (singular). According to M. Greenberg (Ezekiel [AB], 1:45) the Targum interprets this as “will.” Greenberg views this as the spirit of the one enthroned above the creatures, but one would not expect the article when the one enthroned has not yet been introduced.
