German TKW (Textbibel von Kautzsch und Weizsäcker)
Wenn jene gingen, so gingen auch sie, und wenn jene stehen blieben, so blieben auch sie stehen, und wenn sich jene von der Erde erhoben, dann erhoben sich auch die Räder gleichzeitig mit ihnen; denn der Geist der Tiere war in den Rädern.
Was bedeutet das?
This verse describes how the wheels and living creatures move together in unison. The wheels lift up and move when the creatures do, showing that they are guided by the spirit of the living creatures. Ezekiel is describing what he saw in a vision.
Für Kinder erklärt
Imagine you have a toy car with wheels. When you move the car, the wheels move too, right? That's what's happening here. The wheels and the creatures move together, just like your toy car and its wheels!
Historischer Hintergrund
Ezekiel wrote this during the Babylonian exile, around 593 BCE. He was a prophet who saw visions and wrote them down to help and encourage the Israelites who were in exile. The vision was meant to show the power and presence of God.
Anwendung für heute
In modern life, this can remind us of the importance of unity and harmony. Just like the wheels move in sync with the creatures, we can work together with others to achieve a common goal or purpose.
