Hesekiel 10:19

Study

       

19 Und die Cherubim erhoben ihre Flügel und hoben sich vor meinen Augen von der Erde empor, als sie sich hinwegbegaben; und die äder waren neben ihnen (S. die Anm. zu Kap. 1,20.) Und sie stellten sich an den Eingang des östlichen Tores des Hauses Jehovas, und die Herrlichkeit des Gottes Israels war oben über ihnen.

Commentary

 

Cisterns

  

In Genesis 26, the well signifies that people who were in the mere worldly knowledge of truths of faith were unwilling to make the internal nature of the Divine more well-known. (Arcana Coelestia 3412)

Broken cisterns in Jeremiah 2:13 signify false doctrines.

In Deuteronomy 6:11, cisterns hewn out signify the interiors of the natural mind–full of knowledge of good and truth. (Apocalypse Explained 617[13])
