Commentary on Ezekiel 10 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 10
The prophet had observed to us (ch. 8:4) that when he was in vision at Jerusalem he saw the same appearance of the glory of God there that he had seen by the river Chebar; now, in this chapter, he gives us some account of the appearance there, as far as was requisite for the clearing up of two further indications of the approaching destruction of Jerusalem, which God here gave the prophet:-

Eze 10:1-7
