Ezekiel 1:20

1:20 Wherever the spirit ¹  would go, they would go, ²  and the wheels would rise up beside them because the spirit ³  of the living being was in the wheel.

Ezekiel 10:16

10:16 When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them; when the cherubim spread ⁴  their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not move from their side.

Ezekiel 17:14

17:14 so it would be a lowly kingdom which could not rise on its own but must keep its treaty with him in order to stand.

¹ tn Or “wind”; the same Hebrew word can be translated as either “wind” or “spirit” depending on the context.

² tc The MT adds the additional phrase “the spirit would go,” which seems unduly redundant here and may be dittographic.

³ tn Or “wind.” The Hebrew is difficult since the text presents four creatures and then talks about “the spirit” (singular) of “the living being” (singular). According to M. Greenberg (Ezekiel [AB], 1:45) the Targum interprets this as “will.” Greenberg views this as the spirit of the one enthroned above the creatures, but one would not expect the article when the one enthroned has not yet been introduced.

⁴ tn Heb “lifted.”
