- In Ezekiel 10:1 reference is made to the “cherubim.” Where would they be?
- In Ezekiel 10:1, as well, there is the phrase “kemareh” which could be translated “an appearance resembling.” Why does the prophet use this particular phrase rather than something more definite such as “an appearance”?
- In Ezekiel 10:2, reference is made to “the wheelwork, under that cherub.” To what wheelwork is reference made in an earlier portion of Ezekiel?
- What is the “man wearing the linen” to do with the coals?
- Why would a “cloud have filled the courtyard” (Ezekiel 10:3)? What was not to be seen?
- In Ezekiel 10:4, reference is made to the “glory of God” (or the Presence of the Lord) and to a cloud as well. Would this have any precedent in the Five Books?
- And, in Ezekiel 10:4, what might be meant by “the radiance of God’s glory”?
- In Ezekiel 10:5, reference is made to the sound of the wings of the cherubs. Would this, then, accentuate that the vision which the prophet is seeing is the one which he had seen previously of the “Chariot”?
- At the end of Ezekiel 10:5, reference is made to “like the voice of El Shadai as It speaks.” When would the prophet have heard that voice and why is the descriptive of God, in this instance, not the usual phrase that the prophet employs?
- Would there be some purpose in describing the giving of the “fire” to the “man wearing the linens” by a cherub?
- Does Ezekiel 10:9 serve as an expansion of the original vision of the Chariot or does it add thereto — and likewise with Ezekiel 10:10-11?
- Or do these verses simply repeat what has been set forth in the earlier vision?
- In Ezekiel 10:15, does the prophet specifically indicate that what he is seeing now is identical with that which he saw before and does the description in Ezekiel 10:16-17 so confirm?
- Based upon Ezekiel 10:18-19, would the prophet indicate that Divinity is “moving” by way of the Chariot (these events, in the vision, taking place in Jerusalem)?
- In Ezekiel 10:22, what does the prophet affirm as to the vision of the cherubim, their nature, their appearance, and the original vision on the river Kvar?
