Ezekiel 10:17

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

When they stood, [these] stood,.... When the one were inactive, lifeless, and without motion, making no progress in knowledge, experience, and practice, the other were so likewise;See Gill on "Eze 1:21";and when they were lifted up, [these] lifted up themselves [also]; like people, like priest, whether in things commendable or not, Ho 4:9;for the spirit of the living creature [was] in them; the same spirit that was in the cherubim was in the wheels; and the same Spirit of God, who is a "spirit of life" , as the words may be rendered, is in the churches, as in the ministers; generally speaking, if the one are lively, the other are also, and both move as they are acted by the Spirit; and also their motion from place to place, which is spoken of in Eze 10:18, is directed by the Spirit; see Ac 16:6.
