Ezekiel 1:17 | |
17. When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went. | 17. Ad quatuor latera sua, ambulando ibant, non revertebantur cum ambularent. |
What he had already explained he now repeats for the sake of confirmation, that they went upon their four sides -- that is, each living creature proceeded straight forward; the words they turned not refer to their perseverance; not that they exceeded the appointed space, but because they went forward to their object without intermission. I touch but lightly now on what has been already sufficiently explained.
