Albert Barnes Commentary Ezekiel 10:13

"As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, the whirling [wheels]." — Ezekiel 10:13 (ASV)

According to the marginal rendering, the present verse refers back to Ezekiel 10:2 and Ezekiel 10:6, and tells us that the name “galgal, a rolling thing” , was given to the wheels in the seer’s hearing.

But taking Ezekiel 10:14 as a description, and reading Ezekiel 10:15 immediately after Ezekiel 10:13, the meaning is clear. In the hearing of the seer, a voice calls upon the wheels, and, obedient to the call, the cherubim are lifted up and the wheels roll on. The word “galgal” would be better rendered “chariot” instead of “wheel”; “chariot” representing very well the collection of “wheels.”
