Ezekiel Chapter 10
1 I looked and behold, in the expanse over the head of the cherubim appeared the look of the form of a throne, like a sapphire stone above them.
2 He spoke to the man clothed with linen and said, Go in among the wheels under the cherub and fill your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim and scatter them on the city. Then he went in before me.
3 The cherubim were standing on the right side of the house when the man went in and the cloud filled the inner court.
4 The glory of the Lord rose from the cherub over the threshold of the house and the house was filled with the cloud and the court was full of the brightness of the Lord's glory.
5 The sound of the cherubim' wings was heard over the outer court like the voice of Almighty God when He speaks.
6 Then He commanded the man clothed with linen saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubim. Then he went in and stood beside the wheels.
7 A cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire between the cherubim, and he lifted it and put it into the hands of the one clothed with linen. And he took it and went out.
8 The form of a man's hand was seen under the wings of the cherubim.
9 I looked, and behold, the four wheels were beside the cherubim, one wheel was by one cherub, and another wheel by one cherub. And the wheels looked like the color of a stone of Tarshish.
10 Their appearance was as one, the four of them, as if the wheel were in the midst of the wheel.
11 When they went, they went on their four sides. They did not turn as they went, for to the place where the head faces, after it they went. They did not turn as they went.
12 Their whole body, their backs, their hands,their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes all around. Even their wheels that the four of them had.
13 The wheels were called whirling wheels.
14 Four faces to each one. The first face was the face of a cherub. The second was the face of a man. The third the face of a lion. And the fourth the face of an eagle.
15 The cherubim rose. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.
16 When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them. And when the cherubim 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, these lifted up. For the spirit of the living creature was in them.
18 The glory of the Lord went from the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.
19 The cherubim lifted up their wings and rose from the earth in my sight. When they went out, the wheels also were beside them. And he stood at the door of the east gate of the Lord's house. And the glory of the God of Israel was over them from above.
20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar, and I knew that they were cherubim.
21 Four, even four faces are to each. And four wings to each. And the form of a man's hands was under their wings.
22 The form of their faces, they are the faces that I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances even theirs. They each went straight forward.
