ExplanationCommentary
Verse 14. Cherub, or “ox.” All four seem to have had the resemblance of a man, but one more than the rest, which had respectively the appearance rather of an ox, a lion, or an eagle: ( Worthington.) or the ox was predominant in all, as both the head and feet were of it; ( Calmet.) which, however, does not constitute the greatest part. Calmet. 1:5. Bible.
