ezekiel 1:18 As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four.

ezekiel 1:18 As for their rims they were lofty and awesome, and the rims of all four of them were full of eyes round about.

18. rings--that is, felloes or circumferences of the wheels.
eyes--The multiplicity of eyes here in the wheels, and Eze 10:12, in the cherubim themselves, symbolizes the plenitude of intelligent life, the eye being the window through which "the spirit of the living creatures" in the wheels (Eze 1:20) looks forth (compare Zec 4:10). As the wheels signify the providence of God, so the eyes imply that He sees all the circumstances of each case, and does nothing by blind impulse.

ezekiel 1:18 As for their rims they were lofty and awesome, and the rims of all four of them were full of eyes round about.
