Ezekiel10:12

12 And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.

Now he describes both cherubims and wheels as full of Wisdom, and as governed by an excellent Wisdom.

Angels have not bodies of flesh, but body here is figurative, so back, and wings, and hands, the two latter are expresly ascribed to the cherubims, ver. 8. the two former not mention'd before (as I think,) but all full of eyes; i. e. Wisdom, foresight, watchfulness, and diligence.

The four cherubims had to move, govern, and direct.

Marginal references: Heb. flesh.; chap. 1.11.
