In Hebrew, "cherubim" (כְּרוּבִים) is the plural of "cherub" (כְּרוּב). These beings are depicted as guardians of the divine realm, often seen in the context of the throne of God. In Ezekiel's vision, the cherubim are integral to the divine chariot, symbolizing God's mobility and sovereignty. Their presence underscores the holiness and majesty of God, serving as a reminder of His omnipotence and the reverence due to Him.<p><b>reached out his hand</b><br />The act of reaching out signifies intentionality and purpose. In the Hebrew context, the hand (יָד, "yad") often symbolizes power, action, and possession. The cherub's action here is deliberate, indicating a divine directive being carried out. This gesture reflects the active role of heavenly beings in executing God's will, emphasizing the interconnectedness of the divine and earthly realms.<p><b>and took some of the fire</b><br />Fire in biblical literature often represents God's presence, judgment, and purification. The Hebrew word for fire is "אֵשׁ" (esh). In this context, the fire among the cherubim signifies the holy and purifying presence of God. The act of taking fire suggests a transfer of divine judgment or cleansing power, a theme consistent with the broader narrative of Ezekiel, where God's judgment is both a consequence of sin and a precursor to restoration.<p><b>that was among them</b><br />The phrase "among them" indicates the fire's origin from within the divine assembly, emphasizing its sacred nature. This fire is not ordinary but is part of the heavenly realm, reinforcing the idea that what is about to occur is divinely ordained. The presence of fire among the cherubim highlights the holiness and purity of God's throne room, a place where sin cannot stand.<p><b>He put it into the hands of the man in linen</b><br />The "man in linen" is often interpreted as a divine messenger or angelic figure, possibly representing purity and righteousness. Linen garments in the Bible are associated with holiness and priestly service (<a href="/exodus/28-39.htm">Exodus 28:39-42</a>). The transfer of fire to this figure suggests a mission of divine significance, possibly related to judgment or purification. This act symbolizes the transmission of God's will from the heavenly to the earthly realm.<p><b>who took it and went out</b><br />The phrase "went out" signifies the execution of a divine mission. The man in linen, having received the fire, is now tasked with carrying out God's directive. This movement from the divine presence to the earthly realm illustrates the unfolding of God's plan, a reminder of His active involvement in human history. The obedience of the man in linen serves as an example of faithful service, highlighting the importance of carrying out God's will with diligence and reverence.<span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/10-7.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Then one of the cherubim</span><br /><span class="heb">הַכְּר֨וּב</span> <span class="translit">(hak·kə·rūḇ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun -
