THE MESSAGE
Then the cherubim ascended. They were the same living creatures I had seen at the Kebar River. When the cherubim moved, the wheels beside them moved. When the cherubim spread their wings to take off from the ground, the wheels stayed right with them. When the cherubim stopped, the wheels stopped. When the cherubim rose, the wheels rose, because the spirit of the living creatures was also in the wheels.

Contextual Overview
8 And the form of a man's hand was seen under the wings of the cherubs. 9 And I looked, and, behold, the four wheels were beside the cherubs: one wheel beside one cherub, one wheel beside one cherub. And the appearance of the wheels was like the color of a stone of Tarshish. 10 And their appearance was as one, the four of them, as if the wheel were in the midst of the wheel. 11 In their going on their four sides, they went. They did not turn in their going. For to the place where the head faces, after it they went. They did not turn in their going. 12 And all their flesh, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, even their wheels which the four of them had. 13 As for the wheels, it was cried to them in my hearing, Whirling wheel! 14 And four faces were to each. The first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. 15 And the cherubs rose up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar. 16 And in the going of the cherubs, the wheels went beside them. And when the cherubs lifted their wings to soar from the earth, the wheels did not turn from beside them, even they. 17 When they stood still, these stood still. And when they rose up, these also lifted up. For the spirit of the living creature was in them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the cherubim were lifted up,.... From the earth;
:-;
this [is] the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar: a river in Chaldea, where the prophet was when he had the vision of the living creatures recorded in the "first" chapter; and hence it is out of doubt that the living creatures and the cherubim are the same.
