Fro the hous of Thogorma thei brouyten horsis, and horse men, and mulis, to thi chepyng.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house,.... According to the Targum, it was the south side of the house; and so Jarchi interprets it opposite to the north, where the gross idolatries were committed, Ezekiel 8:3; standing at the greatest distance from them, and bearing their testimony against them:

when the man went in; they stood as it were in a levee, through which the man passed, waiting upon him; paying a respect to him; assenting to what he did; and approving of it: this circumstance is mentioned, because they were not always in this position, only at this time; nor did they continue so; we afterwards hear of their motion:

and the cloud filled the inner court; the court of the priests, not as a token of God's presence, as at the dedication of the temple; but rather of judicial blindness and darkness, which the people of the Jews were left unto.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

On the right side - On the south Ezekiel 47:2. The idolatries had been seen on the north side. On the south stood the “cherubim” ready to receive and bear away the glory of the Lord.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 10:3. On the right side of the house — The right hand always marked the south among the Hebrews.
