Ezekiel 10:8-13
Ezek 10:21, Ezek 1:8; Isa 6:6 behold Ezek 1:15-17 as the Dan 10:6; Rev 21:20 a beryl Tarshish is generally rendered by the LXX and the Vulgate the chrysolite, so called by the ancients (from χρυσος (χρψσος) G5557, gold, and λιθος G3037, a stone), because of its fine gold yellow colour. It is now called by the moderns the topaz; is a very beautiful and valuable gem in its pure and perfect state, though very rarely found so; and the finer pieces of it are in hardness second only to the diamond. The Vulgate, however, in Ezek 1:16, renders, quasi visio maris "as the appearance of the seas," i.e., azure; and Dr. Geddes (on Exod 28:10) says, that, with Abarbanel, he believes the beryl to be intended. It is a pellucid gem, called by our lapidaries, aqua marina of a sea or bluish green colour, found in the East Indies and about the gold mines of Peru. The genuine beryl never receives any other mixture of colour; and in its perfect state approaches the hardness of garnet. Ezek 1:16; Ps 36:6, Ps 97:2, Ps 104:24; Rom 11:33 they went upon Ezek 10:22, Ezek 1:17 whither Ezek 1:20; Matt 8:8-10 body Heb. flesh were Ezek 1:18; Rev 4:6, Rev 4:8 it was cried etc. or, they were called in my hearing, Wheel, or Galgal. Ezek 10:13
