(Ezekiel 10:3 - AKJV) — Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

(Ezekiel 10:3 - NKJV) - Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in, and the cloud filled the inner court.

One translation said the Cherubim were standing on the right side of the temple and another said they were standing on the south side of the temple: Both are correct. The temple as built by Solomon had its Front view/elevation in the east, rear view in the west, left view in the north and right view in the south. Recall that those men worshiping the sun in the east were backing or had their backs toward the temple.

Just as the space inside the House/Temple had “Outer Room” and “Inner Room,” so also the Premises of the House/Temple had “Outer Court” and “Inner Court.” So when the man clothed in linen went to were he was sent to the Cherubim, he left God in the outer court and entered the inner court, right side, where the Cherubim, the Wheels and the Throne, were. And the Cloud that filled the inner court was of the glory of God there ahead of him even though he left God behind to enter the inner court: God is everywhere. And the cloud already filled the inner court, or he walked into the cloud.

Don't forget that in the Holy of Holies towards the west side of the temple, there were portraits of Cherubim covering a Mercy seat with two wings. But the Real Cherubim do not cover the Throne, which is also above them and not under their covering wings; The real Cherubim were in the inner court at the right side, and the glory of God on them filled the inner court with cloud without rain of water, but cloud of glory.



(Ezekiel 10:4 - AKJV) — Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD's glory.

(Ezekiel 10:4 - NKJV) - Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub, and paused over the threshold of the temple; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the Lord’s glory.

Then again the glory of the Lord God went up from the Cherubim and stood again by the entrance door of the House in front/east side, now within the outer court. This time, the glory of God was releasing cloud of glory into the Temple Room and cloud of brightness into the outer court.

☆1☆ Whenever I see the Lord God Himself doing this, I feel He is performing Priestly to His Temple or to His Creation by releasing glorious cloud and atmosphere over and within them. Men as priests do similar thing by releasing incense smoke to fill a space.

☆2☆ Again, the manifest glory of the Lord God went up from the Cherubim to skip the fence and the door instead of entering or exiting through the door. Recall the reason He had to avoid the use of the door in such manifest Glory, as I explained in my writing under “Ezekiel 9:3.” And to get the cloud into the Temple, the glory of God stood by the entrance of the door in a manner for the cloud to enter through the door while He would not Himself enter through the door with His manifest Glory.

☆3☆ As it was then, the Holy of Holies, which was supposed to be the head source for the glory or cloud became the tail, while the opposite direction was the source. Sometimes in crusade or gathering, the Lord may start from any angles or direction.
