18 Then the glory of the Lord departed from over the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim.
18 Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.
18 Then the glory of the Lord went out from the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.
18 Then the Glory of God left the Temple entrance and hovered over the cherubim.
18 Then the glory of the Lord departed from the threshold of the temple and stood over the cherubim.
18 Then the glory of the Lord moved out from the entrance of the Temple and hovered above the cherubim.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 10:18
Commentary on Ezekiel 10:8-22
(Read Ezekiel 10:8-22)
Ezekiel sees the working of Divine providence in the government of the lower world, and the affairs of it. When God is leaving a people in displeasure, angels above, and all events below, further his departure. The Spirit of life, the Spirit of God, directs all creatures, in heaven and on earth, so as to make them serve the Divine purpose. God removes by degrees from a provoking people; and, when ready to depart, would return to them, if they were a repenting, praying people. Let this warn sinners to seek the Lord while he may be found, and to call on him while he is near, and cause us all to walk humbly and watchfully with our God.
