Ezekiel’s ‘wheel within a wheel’

Isaiah 40:22 It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its
inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens
like a curtain, And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

Psalm 19:6 Its rising is from one end of heaven, And its circuit to the
other end; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

Job 22:14 Thick clouds cover Him, so that He cannot see, And He
walks above the circle of heaven.’

The ‘wheel within a wheel’ is the ecliptic and the mazzarot (zodiac).

Mazzaroth (Hebrew Transliteration: מַזָּרוֹת Mazzārōṯ, LXX Μαζουρωθ,
Mazourōth) is a Biblical Hebrew Word found in the Book of Job
(38:32) and literally meaning "constellations," according to 10th-
century biblical exegete Saadia Gaon, while others interpret the word
as Garland of Crowns, but its context is that of Astronomical
Constellations, and it is often interpreted as a term for the Zodiac or
the Constellations thereof. (Job 38:31–32). The similar word mazalot
(מַּזָּלוֹת) in 2 Kings 23:3–5 may be related.

Job 38:31 “Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades,
Or loose the belt of Orion?
