✧Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne. ✧2And he spake unto the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the whirling [wheels], even under the cherub, and fill both thy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight. ✧3Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court. ✧4And the glory of Jehovah mounted up from the cherub, [and stood] over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of Jehovah’s glory. ✧5And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaketh. ✧6And it came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the whirling [wheels], from between the cherubim, that he went in, and stood beside a wheel. ✧7And the cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim unto the fire that was between the cherubim, and took [thereof], and put it into the hands of him that was clothed in linen, who took it and went out. ✧8And there appeared in the cherubim the form of a man’s hand under their wings. ✧9And I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like unto a beryl stone. ✧10And as for their appearance, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been within a wheel. ✧11When they went, they went in their four directions: they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went. ✧12And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, [even] the wheels that they four had. ✧13As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing the whirling [wheels]. ✧14And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. ✧15And the cherubim mounted up: this is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar. ✧16And when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also turned not from beside them. ✧17When they stood, these stood; and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them: for the spirit of the living creature was in them. ✧18And the glory of Jehovah went forth from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim. ✧19And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went forth, and the wheels beside them: and they stood at the door of the east gate of Jehovah’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. ✧20This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim. ✧21Every one had four faces, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings. ✧22And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; they went every one straight forward.
