1:15 Then I looked, 1 and I saw one wheel 2 on the ground 3 beside each of the four beings.
10:9 As I watched, I noticed 4 four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub; 5 the wheels gleamed like jasper. 6
1 tc The MT adds “at the living beings” which is absent from the LXX.
2 sn Another vision which includes wheels on thrones occurs in Dan 7:9. Ezek 10 contains a vision similar to this one.
3 tn The Hebrew word may be translated either “earth” or “ground” in this context.
4 tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.
5 tn The MT repeats this phrase, a clear case of dittography.
6 tn Heb “Tarshish stone.” The meaning is uncertain. The term has also been translated “topaz” (NEB), “beryl” (KJV, NASB, NRSV), and “chrysolite” (RSV, NIV).
