Tarshish is generally rendered by the LXX and the Vulgate the chrysolite , so called by the ancients (from קסץףןע (קסרףןע) [Strong's G5557] , gold , and כיטןע [Strong's G3037] , a stone) , because of its fine gold yellow colour. It is now called by the moderns the topaz; is a very beautiful and valuable gem in its pure and perfect state , though very rarely found so; and the finer pieces of it are in hardness second only to the diamond. The Vulgate , however , in

  • Ezekiel 1:16 renders , quasi visio maris "as the appearance of the seas ," i.e. , azure; and Dr. Geddes (on Exodus 28 . 10) says , that , with Abarbanel , he believes the beryl to be intended. It is a pellucid gem , called by our lapidaries , aqua marina of a sea or bluish green colour , found in the East Indies and about the gold mines of Peru. The genuine beryl never receives any other mixture of colour; and in its perfect state approaches the hardness of garnet

the face of a cherub1 parallel

In

  • Ezekiel 1:10 instead of "the face of a cherub ," it is "the face of an ox . " hence a cherub was in the likeness of an ox , at least as to its head. The extraordinary shape of these angelic beings , which appeared to the prophet in vision , is manifestly symbolical; for it is not to be supposed that these heavenly beings are really thus formed. The four faces , wings , and the arms of a man , denote the sublime qualities of these immediate ministers of the Deity; qualities entirely essential to fill up the extent of their duty. The face of a man denotes their intelligence; of a lion , their intrepid courage; of an ox , their patience and perseverance in labour; and of an eagle , their great penetration , their sublime sight into heavenly things , and their readiness to rise up into all that is great and divine. The wings being stretched out , signifies their readiness and rapidity in obeying the commands of their Master; the wings bent down , denotes their profound respect before the Lord of the Uni#### Verse; and the man's arms under the wings , shew that zeal produces application and labour
