Albert Barnes Commentary Ezekiel 8:2

"Then I beheld, and, lo, a likeness as the appearance of fire; from the appearance of his loins and downward, fire; and from his loins and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as it were glowing metal." — Ezekiel 8:2 (ASV)

The appearance of fire - In the margin reference, seen as the appearance of a man enthroned upon the cherubim. Here He stands apart from the throne, revealing Himself to His servant. Compare the note on Daniel 3:25.

Amber - See the margin reference note.
