The Hebrew word Merkabah is used in Ezekiel to refer to the throne-chariot of God, the four-wheeled vehicle driven by four chayot each of which has four wings and the four faces of a man, lion, ox, and eagle.

Due to the concern of some Torah scholars that misunderstanding these passages as literal descriptions of God's image might lead to blasphemy or idolatry, there was great opposition to studying this topic without the proper initiation. Jewish biblical commentaries emphasize that the imagery of the Merkaba is not meant to be taken literally rather the chariot and its accompanying angels are analogies for the various ways that God reveals Himself in this world
