Their wings were touching one another This phrase describes the unity and harmony among the living creatures in Ezekiel's vision. The Hebrew word for "touching" is "נָגַע" (naga), which implies a close contact or connection. This imagery of wings touching signifies a seamless cooperation and unity in purpose among the creatures. In a broader theological context, it reflects the divine order and harmony in God's creation, where each part works in concert with the others. This can inspire believers to seek unity and cooperation within the body of Christ, emphasizing the importance of working together for a common divine purpose. They did not turn as they moved each one went straight ahead They turned not when they went.--Whichever way they wished to go, they could still go "straight forward," i.e., in the direction towards which they looked, since they looked in all directions, and their round feet made it equally easy to move in any way. It would at first seem that as two of the wings of each cherub were used to cover their bodies (Ezekiel 1:11), the wings would have required their turning when they changed their course; but if we conceive of the four cherubim as arranged to form a square, and with their wings moving as one creature, this difficulty disappears. Verse 9. - Their wings were joined, etc. As interpreted by vers. 11 and 24, two of the wings were always down, and when the living creatures moved, two were extended upwards, so that their tips touched, and were in this sense "joined." When at rest, these were let down again (ver. 24). They turned not, etc. We note the emphasis of the threefold iteration of the fact (vers. 12, 17). None of the four forms revolved on its axis. The motion of what we may call the composite quadrilateral was simply rectilinear. Did the symbolism represent the directness, the straightforwardness, of the Divine energy manifested in the universe?Parallel Commentaries ...
