Chapter 10

Then I looked,⁴ and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared⁸ over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

And he spake⁴ unto the man clothed⁷ with linen, and said,⁴ Go in³ between the wheels, [even] under the cherub, and fill¹⁶ thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter³ [them] over the city. And he went in⁴ in my sight.

Now the cherubims stood⁶ on the right side of the house, when the man went in;² and the cloud filled¹ the inner court.

Then the glory of the LORD went up⁴ from the cherub, [and stood] over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled¹¹ with the cloud, and the court was full¹ of the brightness of the LORD'S glory.

And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard⁸ [even] to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.¹⁵

And it came to pass, [that] when he had commanded¹⁵ the man clothed⁷ with linen, saying,² Take³ fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in,⁴ and stood⁴ beside the wheels.

And [one] cherub stretched forth⁴ his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that [was] between the cherubims, and took⁴ [thereof], and put⁴ [it] into the hands of [him that was] clothed⁷ with linen: who took⁴ [it], and went out.⁴

And there appeared¹¹ in the cherubims the form of a man's hand under their wings.

And when I looked,⁴ behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels [was] as the colour of a beryl stone.

And [as for] their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.

When they went,² they went⁴ upon their four sides; they turned¹¹ not as they went,² but to the place whither the head looked⁴ they followed^{4 310} it; they turned¹¹ not as they went.²

And 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.

As for the wheels, it was cried²⁷ unto them in my hearing, O wheel.

And every one had four faces: the first face [was] the face of a 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.

And the cherubims were lifted up.¹¹ This [is] the living creature that I saw¹ by the river of Chebar.

And when the cherubims went,² the wheels went⁴ by them: and when the cherubims lifted up² their wings to mount up² from the earth, the same wheels also turned¹¹ not from beside them.

When they stood,² [these] stood;⁴ and when they were lifted up,² [these] lifted up¹¹ themselves [also]: for the spirit of the living creature [was] in them.

Then the glory of the LORD departed⁴ from off the threshold of the house, and stood⁴ over the cherubims.

And the cherubims lifted up⁴ their wings, and mounted up¹¹ from the earth in my sight: when they went out,² the wheels also [were] beside them, and [every one] stood⁴ at the door of the east gate of the LORD'S house; and the glory of the God of Israel [was] over them above.

This [is] the living creature that I saw¹ under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew⁴ that they [were] the cherubims.

Every one had four ⁷⁰² faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man [was] under their wings.

And the likeness of their faces [was] the same faces which I saw¹ by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went⁴ every one straight forward.
