Context — The Four Living Creatures
7Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the hooves of a calf, gleaming like polished bronze.
8Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. All four living creatures had faces and wings,
9and their wings were touching one another. They did not turn as they moved; each one went straight ahead.
10The form of their faces was that of a man, and each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, the face of an ox on the left side, and also the face of an eagle. 11Such were their faces. Their wings were spread upward; each had two wings touching the wings of the creature on either side, and two wings covering its body.Cross References

Ezekiel 1:9 Summary
Ezekiel 1:9 describes the living creatures' wings touching one another as they move in harmony, each going straight ahead without turning. This verse teaches us about the importance of unity, focus, and perseverance in our own spiritual journeys. Just as the creatures move together in coordination, we can trust God to guide us and give us purpose, as promised in Jeremiah 29:11 and Proverbs 3:5-6. By staying focused on God and moving forward with faith, we can experience a deeper sense of unity and harmony with Him and with others.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the wings of the living creatures touching one another in Ezekiel 1:9?
The touching of the wings symbolizes unity and harmony among the creatures, emphasizing their coordination and cooperation in their movement, much like the unity of the Godhead as described in Genesis 1:26 and the unity of believers in Jesus Christ as described in John 17:21-23.
Why did the living creatures not turn as they moved, but instead went straight ahead?
The creatures' straightforward movement may indicate their single-minded purpose and unwavering commitment to their mission, much like the steadfastness of God's plans as proclaimed in Isaiah 46:10 and the perseverance of believers as encouraged in Philippians 3:14.
How do the living creatures' movements relate to our own spiritual journeys?
The creatures' movements can serve as a metaphor for our own walks with God, reminding us to stay focused, move forward with purpose, and trust in God's guidance, as exhorted in Proverbs 3:5-6 and Psalm 37:3-7.
What can we learn from the living creatures' ability to move in harmony with one another?
The creatures' harmonious movement teaches us the importance of unity and cooperation in our own relationships, whether within the church or in our personal lives, as emphasized in Romans 12:4-5 and 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.
Reflection Questions
- As I reflect on the living creatures' movement, what areas of my life require greater focus and purpose?
- How can I, like the living creatures, maintain unity and harmony with others in my spiritual journey?
- What are some ways I can apply the principle of steadfastness and perseverance in my own walk with God?
- In what ways can I trust God's guidance and move forward with confidence, even when the path ahead seems uncertain?
Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 1:9
Their wings [were] joined one to another,.... "A woman to her sister" (n), in the Hebrew; denoting the concord, harmony, and agreement of Gospel ministers, and their affection to one another; they
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 1:9
Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward. They turned not when they went.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 1:9
Their wings were joined one to another; the wings of the living creatures, when stretched out to fly, were joined together; so the wings of those two cherubims which went foremost, and the wings of the two hindermost, were joined together when they moved. It seems to refer to that . It signifies, however, the equal and uniform readiness of angels, their concord and union with constancy to do the will of God, and it shows us the exact harmony that is between the works of God. These wings, and their being joined, is expressed, Heb. by the union of loving sisters with each other. They turned not when they went; they lost no time in a difficult or tedious turning, as we see in other chariots, for which way soever they were to go, thither they had faces directed, and so readily moved forward on their way, whether east or west, north or south, and held on till they had finished their course, but then were ready for further action, and returned as quick to their station, where they might receive new commands, as lightning does; so this and that , there they did return, here they did not, are reconciled. They went every one straight forward: this explains the former, and confirms it to us, assuring us that every one of those living creatures are ready, faithful, and unwearied in doing the pleasure of their Creator, in his government of the world. See .
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 1:9
Ezekiel 1:9 Their wings [were] joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.Ver. 9. Their wings were joined one to another.] To show the unity of angels, the uniformity also of their motions in God’ s service; there is a suitability and agreeability between them. They turned not when they went,] sc., Till they had effected that which they went for; and then they did. They went every one straight forward.] The angels, in the execution of their office, kept a straight course, without deviating or detracting, without cessation or cespitation. Our eyes should also "look right on," and we should make "straight steps for our feet." This is angel-like. St Paul, that earthly angel, did so.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 1:9
(9) Their wings were joined one to another.—i.e., the outstretched right wing of one cherub was joined at its tip to the left wing of another, so that although four, they yet constituted in some sense but one creature, all moving in harmony and by a common impulse. This applies to the cherubim only when in motion; when they stood, the wings were let down (Ezekiel 1:24). The joining of the extremities of the outstretched wings of the cherubim recalls the arrangement in Solomon’s Temple (1 Kings 6:27), in which the wings of the larger cherubim touched one another above the mercy-seat. They turned not when they went.—Whichever way they wished to go, they could still go “straight forward,” i.e., in the direction towards which they looked, since they looked in all directions, and their round feet made it equally easy to move in any way. It would at first seem that as two of the wings of each cherub were used to cover their bodies (Ezekiel 1:11), the wings would have required their turning when they changed their course; but if we conceive of the four cherubim as arranged to form a square, and with their wings moving as one creature, this difficulty disappears.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 1:9
Verse 9. Their wings were joined one to another] When their wings were extended, they formed a sort of canopy level with their own heads or shoulders; and on this canopy was the throne, and the "likeness of the man" upon it, Ezekiel 1:26. They turned not when they went] The wings did not flap in flying, or move in the manner of oars, or of the hands of a man in swimming, in order to their passing through the air; as they glided in reference to their feet, so they soared in reference to their wings.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 1:9
4–28. The theophany, or, vision of God This is described first generally, as a whirlwind and great cloud coming from the North, with a luminous splendour around it, due to a fire sending out continuous flashes within it (Ezekiel 1:4). Secondly, more particularly that is described which appeared within the storm-cloud (Ezekiel 1:5-28). This was the chariot of God, in which he rode, descending to the earth and moving from one place to another (cf. ch. 10). This chariot is represented as foursided. On each of the four sides was a living creature of human shape, with outstretched wings. Also on each of the four sides, beside each of the living creatures there was a wheel. The living creatures are not represented as having any platform or basement under them on which they stand; the wheels are usually said to be “beside” them, in ch. Ezekiel 10:2 “under” them. The wheels are to be conceived as at right angles to each of the four sides of the chariot, presenting their rims to the four points of the compass.
Above the heads of the four living creatures, or over their wings when horizontally expanded, was a firmament of crystal. Above the firmament was the appearance of a throne. And upon the throne the appearance of one like fire, encircled with a glory which was like the rainbow in the day of rain.
Barnes' Notes on Ezekiel 1:9
Two of the wings were in the act of flying, so stretched out that the extremity of each touched a wing of a neighboring living creature, similarly stretched out. This was only when they were in motion. See Ezekiel 1:24.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 1:9
9. They turned not when they went — Swift and full of activity as they were, there was a calmness and dignity in their movements.
