Commentary

Commentary on Ezekiel 1:22

Theological / Devotional

Firmament. Heb. raqia‘, literally, “an expanse” (see on Gen. 1:6; Ps. 19:1). The reference is to the expanse above the living creatures.

Crystal. Heb. qerach, literally, “ice.” In all other occurrences the word is translated either “ice” or “frost” (Gen. 31:40; Job 6:16; 37:10; 38:29; Jer. 36:30). The picture is one of a gorgeous display, perhaps faintly resembled by the morning sun falling upon the eternal snows of some lofty mountain peak.
