Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub,
whereupon he was,.... That is, the glorious God of Israel; or the glorious Shechinah, and divine Majesty, which dwelt between the cherubim over the mercy seat in the most holy place, removed from thence, as a token of his being about to depart from the temple, which in a short time would be destroyed. The Targum is,
"the glory of the God of Israel departed in the cherub on which he dwelt, in the house of the holy of holies;''
the cherubim removed with him, and were his chariot in which he rode; see Ezekiel 10:18;
to the threshold of the house; of the holy of holies, as Jarchi interprets it; and so was nearer to the brasen altar, where the seven men stood, to give them their orders; of which an account follows:
and he called to the man clothed with linen, which [had] the writer's inkhorn by his side; he, being the principal person, is called first; and his business being to preserve the Lord's people shows that this was the first care of God.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Cherub - The singular is put collectively for the âcherubim,â which were upon the mercy-seat of the ark in the holy of holies, the proper seat of the glory of the Lord in the midst of Israel. God is represented as âarisingâ from between the cherubim to scatter His enemies Numbers 10:35.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 9:3. And he called to the man — The person here who called was that who sat on the chariot of the Divine glory. See Ezekiel 1:26.
