Ezekiel 10:15The cherubim mounted up: this is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.
The setting
Babylon, ~593 BC. Ezekiel sits among Jewish exiles by irrigation canal. God's glory departs the temple in Jerusalem through supernatural vision...
The emotion here: overwhelmed exile recognizing divine majesty
The original word
keruvim (כְּרוּבִים) — winged throne guardians, not cute baby angels
Why it matters
Chebar was an irrigation canal in Babylon, not a natural river
