Then I looked, and see, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne. See also: Exodus 24:10Ezekiel 1:22-26Revelation 4:2-3He spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, “Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city.” He went in as I watched. See also: Revelation 8:5Ezekiel 1:13Ezekiel 10:16Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court. See also: Ezekiel 43:4Ezekiel 9:3Ezekiel 8:16The LORD’s glory mounted up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD’s glory. See also: Ezekiel 1:28Revelation 15:8Ezekiel 9:3The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks. See also: Ezekiel 1:24Job 40:9Job 37:2-5It came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” that he went in and stood beside a wheel. See also: Ezekiel 10:2Psalms 99:1Psalms 80:1The cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took some of it, and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out. See also: Matthew 13:41-42Ezekiel 10:6Ezekiel 41:23-26The form of a man’s hand appeared here in the cherubim under their wings. See also: Ezekiel 1:8Ezekiel 10:21Isaiah 6:6I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub. The appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone. See also: Revelation 21:20Daniel 10:6Ezekiel 1:15-17As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel. See also: Ezekiel 1:16Psalms 104:24Psalms 97:2When they went, they went in their four directions. They didn’t turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it. They didn’t turn as they went. See also: Ezekiel 1:17Ezekiel 10:22Ezekiel 1:20Their whole body, including their backs, their hands, their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, even the wheels that the four of them had. See also: Ezekiel 1:18Revelation 4:6Revelation 4:8As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, “the whirling wheels”. Every one of them had four faces. The first face was the face of the cherub. The second face was the face of a man. The third face was the face of a lion. The fourth was the face of an eagle. See also: Revelation 4:7Ezekiel 10:211 Kings 7:36The cherubim mounted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar. See also: Ezekiel 1:5Ezekiel 43:3Ezekiel 1:13-14When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also didn’t turn from beside them. See also: Ezekiel 1:19-21When they stood, these stood. When they mounted up, these mounted up with them; for the spirit of the living creature was in them. See also: Ezekiel 1:20-21Romans 8:2Revelation 11:11The LORD’s glory went out from over the threshold of the house and stood over the cherubim. See also: Psalms 18:10Matthew 23:37-39Psalms 78:60-61The cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went out, with the wheels beside them. Then they stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. See also: Ezekiel 8:16Ezekiel 10:1Ezekiel 1:26-28This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim. See also: Ezekiel 1:1Ezekiel 10:15Ezekiel 1:5Every one had four faces, and every one four wings. The likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings. See also: Ezekiel 1:6Ezekiel 10:14Ezekiel 41:18-19As for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves. They each went straight forward. See also: Ezekiel 10:11Ezekiel 1:10Ezekiel 1:12

Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).
