The Key Word — גֹ֥בַהּ, go.Bahgenerated
The noun גֹ֥בַהּ (gobah) means 'height' and conveys a sense of elevation or grandeur. It is often used to describe physical height, such as that of mountains or structures, but can also imply a more abstract sense of exaltation or pride.
In this verse, the use of גֹ֥בַהּ emphasizes the impressive stature of the rims, contributing to the overall awe-inspiring imagery of the vision. The parsing as a singular noun indicates that it refers to a specific height, underscoring the significance of the rims in the context of the divine chariot.

The height might be inferred from the fact that the wheel was “upon the earth,” and yet was “by the living creatures” (Ezekiel 1:15) who were seen in the cloud (Ezekiel 1:5). The terribleness was in keeping with all other parts of the vision, and its reason is explained in the circumstances which follow.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text states that the rims of the wheels were high and awesome, full of eyes all around. The Septuagint agrees with the Masoretic Text in meaning, though it presents the words in a different order and structure. The Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q74) also align closely with the Masoretic Text, but some words are reconstructed by editors due to the condition of the manuscript. Overall, the key elements of the verse are consistent across all witnesses, emphasizing the awe-inspiring nature of the wheels described in Ezekiel's vision.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
