Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
10:3-22 As if reluctant to leave, the glory of the Lord (10:4) moved slowly and haltingly, by stages. From above the cherubim in the Most Holy Place, it moved to the entrance of the Temple, paused, then hovered above the cherubim (10:18) and moved to the east gate of the courtyard (10:19), where it again paused. The glory of the Lord later left the city altogether (11:23).
