Clarke's Ezekiel 1:6 Bible Commentary
Every one had four faces - There were four several figures of these living creatures, and each of these figures had four distinct faces: but as the face of the man was that which was presented to the prophet's view, so that he saw it more plainly than any of the others; hence it is said, Ezekiel 1:5, that each of these figures had the likeness of a man; and the whole of this compound image bore a general resemblance to the human figure.
Barnes's Ezekiel 1:6 Bible Commentary
In the Revelation of John each "beast" has its own distinctive character, here each unites in itself the four characters; there each has six wings, like the Seraphim Isaiah 6:2, here only four.
Wesley's Ezekiel 1:6 Bible Commentary
1:6 Wings - With two they flew, denoting the speed of their obedience; and with two they covered their body, denoting their reverence.
