Wesley's Notes

10:9 Looked - Attentively viewed. Beryl stone - Of sea - green.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

9. wheels-(See on [1026]Eze 1:15, 16). The things which, from Eze 10:8 to the end of the chapter, are repeated from the first chapter are expressed more decidedly, now that he gets a nearer view: the words "as it were," and "as if," so often occurring in the first chapter, are therefore mostly omitted. The "wheels" express the manifold changes and revolutions in the world; also that in the chariot of His providence God transports the Church from one place to another and everywhere can preserve it; a truth calculated to alarm the people in Jerusalem and to console the exiles [Polanus].

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

10:8-22 Ezekiel sees the working of Divine providence in the government of the lower world, and the affairs of it. When God is leaving a people in displeasure, angels above, and all events below, further his departure. The Spirit of life, the Spirit of God, directs all creatures, in heaven and on earth, so as to make them serve the Divine purpose. God removes by degrees from a provoking people; and, when ready to depart, would return to them, if they were a repenting, praying people. Let this warn sinners to seek the Lord while he may be found, and to call on him while he is near, and cause us all to walk humbly and watchfully with our God.


Ezekiel 1:15 Now as I looked at the living beings, behold, there was one wheel on the earth beside the living beings, for each of the four of them.
Daniel 10:6 His body also was like beryl, his face had the appearance of lightning, his eyes were like flaming torches, his arms and feet like the gleam of polished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a tumult.
Revelation 21:20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. (NASB ©1995)

a beryl. Tarshish is generally rendered by the LXX and the Vulgate the chrysolite, so called by the ancients (from [] gold and [] a stone) because of it fine gold yellow colour. It is now called by the moderns the topaz; is a very beautiful and valuable gem in its pure and perfect state, though very rarely found so; and the finer pieces of it are in hardness second only to the diamond. The Vulgate, however, in ch. 1:16, renders, quasi visio maris, `as the appearance of the seas,' i. e. azure; and Dr. Geddes (on Ex 28:10) says, that, with Abarbanel, the believes the beryl to be intended. It is a pellucid gem, called by our lapidaries, aqua marian, of a sea or bluish green colour, found in the East Indies and about the gold mines of Peru. The genuine Beryl never receives any other mixture of colour; and in its perfect state approaches the hardness of garnet.
