Gill's Notes on the Bible

And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel [was] there,.... In the temple, between the cherubim, where the Shechinah or the glory of the divine Majesty dwelt; for as yet he had not removed, though provoked to it, and as he afterwards did; or he was here to destroy the idols, and both city and temple, for the idolatry of the people; or this is here mentioned, to show the baseness and wickedness of the people, that they should place an idol where the Lord himself was:

according to the vision that I saw in the plain; it was the same glorious Person he saw in the temple whom he had before seen in the plain, Ezekiel 3:22; and that was the same he had seen in the vision by the river Chebar, Ezekiel 1:3.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The glory of the Lord having departed from His seat between the cherubims in the holy of holies (see Ezekiel 9:3) rests in the threshold of the temple, to execute vengeance before it quits the house altogether Ezekiel 10:18. The “there” in the inner court, which was “full of the brightness of the Lord’S glory” Ezekiel 10:4, and at the gate of which Ezekiel stands.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 8:4. The vision that I saw in the plain.Ezekiel 3:23; see also Ezekiel 1:3.
