The coals being taken from among the cherubim highlight the divine origin of this judgment, underscoring that it is both righteous and holy.and scatter them over the city The act of scattering coals over the city signifies the execution of divine judgment upon Jerusalem for its sins and idolatry (<a href="/ezekiel/9-9.htm">Ezekiel 9:9-10</a>). This action foreshadows the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 586 BC, fulfilling the prophetic warnings given by Ezekiel and other prophets.And as I watched, he went in Ezekiel's role as a prophet is emphasized here as he witnesses the unfolding of God's plans.

It is not without significance that now the same person is made the agent of judgment. As God's love is turned to wrath by man's impenitence, and as His blessings given to man become curses by their abuse, so those employed by Him as the instruments of His loving-kindness become the very executioners of his "fury." The "coals of fire," the symbols of Divine wrath, are represented as "between the cherubim." In every possible way it is signified that the impending doom is not from man's will, however men may be used as its instruments, or from any accident, but from God Himself.Scatter them over the city.--For its destruction. Perhaps the imagery does not signify anything more than destruction, without especial reference to the means employed; but <a href="/2_kings/25-9.htm" title="And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire.">2Kings 25:9</a> and <a href="/2_chronicles/36-19.htm" title="And they burnt the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.">2Chronicles 36:19</a> show that the Temple and city were actually burned by the Chaldaeans, as was often done with conquered cities that had resisted obstinately. <a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/10-2.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>And the LORD said וַיֹּ֜אמֶר (way·yō·mer) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> To utter, say to אֶל־ (’el-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> Near, with, among, to the man הָאִ֣ישׁ ׀ (hā·’îš) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_376.htm">Strong's 376: </a> A man as an individual, a male person clothed לְבֻ֣שׁ (lə·ḇuš) Verb - Qal - QalPassParticiple - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3847.htm">Strong's 3847: </a> Wrap around, to put on a, garment, clothe in linen, הַבַּדִּ֗ים (hab·bad·dîm) Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_906.htm">Strong's 906: </a> Flaxen thread, yarn, a linen garment “Go בֹּא֩ (bō) Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_935.htm">Strong's 935: </a> To come in, come, go in, go inside אֶל־ (’el-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> Near, with, among, to the wheelwork לַגַּלְגַּ֜ל (lag·gal·gal) Preposition-l, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1534.htm">Strong's 1534: </a> A wheel, a whirlwind, dust beneath תַּ֣חַת (ta·ḥaṯ) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8478.htm">Strong's 8478: </a> The bottom, below, in lieu of the cherubim. לַכְּר֗וּב (lak·kə·rūḇ) Preposition-l, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3742.htm">Strong's 3742: </a> Probably an order of angelic beings Fill וּמַלֵּ֨א (ū·mal·lê) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Imperative - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4390.htm">Strong's 4390: </a> To fill, be full of your hands חָפְנֶ֤יךָ (ḥā·p̄ə·ne·ḵā) Noun - mdc | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2651.htm">Strong's 2651: </a> The hollow of the hand with burning coals גַֽחֲלֵי־ (ḡa·ḥă·lê-) Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1513.htm">Strong's 1513: </a> An ember from among בֵּינ֨וֹת (bê·nō·wṯ) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_996.htm">Strong's 996: </a> An interval, space between the cherubim לַכְּרֻבִ֔ים (lak·kə·ru·ḇîm) Preposition-l, Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3742.htm">Strong's 3742: </a> Probably an order of angelic beings and scatter וּזְרֹ֖ק (ū·zə·rōq) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2236.htm">Strong's 2236: </a> Be here and there, scatter, sprinkle, strew them over עַל־ (‘al-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against the city.” הָעִ֑יר (hā·‘îr) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5892.htm">Strong's 5892: </a> Excitement And as I watched, לְעֵינָֽי׃ (lə·‘ê·nāy) Preposition-l | Noun - cdc | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5869.htm">Strong's 5869: </a> An eye, a fountain he went in. וַיָּבֹ֖א (way·yā·ḇō) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_935.htm">Strong's 935: </a> To come in, come, go in, go <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/ezekiel/10-2.htm">Ezekiel 10:2 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/ezekiel/10-2.htm">Ezekiel 10:2 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/ezekiel/10-2.htm">Ezekiel 10:2 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/ezekiel/10-2.htm">Ezekiel 10:2 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/ezekiel/10-2.htm">Ezekiel 10:2 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/ezekiel/10-2.htm">Ezekiel 10:2 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/ezekiel/10-2.htm">Ezekiel 10:2 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/ezekiel/10-2.htm">Ezekiel 10:2 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/ezekiel/10-2.htm">Ezekiel 10:2 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/ezekiel/10-2.htm">Ezekiel 10:2 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/ezekiel/10-2.htm">OT Prophets: Ezekiel 10:2 He spoke to the man clothed (Ezek.
