Barnes's Ezekiel 9:3 Bible Commentary
Cherub - The singular is put collectively for the "cherubim," which were upon the mercy-seat of the ark in the holy of holies, the proper seat of the glory of the Lord in the midst of Israel. God is represented as "arising" from between the cherubim to scatter His enemies Numbers 10:35.
Wesley's Ezekiel 9:3 Bible Commentary
9:3 The glory - The glorious brightness, such as sometimes appeared above the cherubim in the most holy place. Gone up - Departing from the place he had so long dwelt in. He was - Wont to sit and appear.Threshold - Of the temple, in token of his sudden departure from the Jews, because of their sins.
