10:1 I looked, and I saw the likeness of a throne of sapphire above the expanse that was over the heads of the cherubim.
10:2 The LORD said to the man clothed in linen, “Go in among the wheels beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” And as I watched, he went in.
10:3 Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court.
10:4 Then the glory of the LORD rose from above the cherubim and moved to the threshold of the temple. The cloud filled the temple, and the court was full of the radiance of the glory of the LORD.
10:5 The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far away as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
10:6 When the LORD commanded the man in linen, “Take fire from among the wheels, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.
10:7 Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand to the fire that was among them. He took up some of it and put it into the hands of the man in linen, who took it and went out.
10:8 (Under the wings of the cherubim could be seen what looked like the hands of a man.)
10:9 I looked, and I saw beside the cherubim four wheels, one beside each of the cherubim; the wheels sparkled like chrysolite.
10:10 As for their appearance, the four of them looked alike; each was like a wheel intersecting a wheel.
10:11 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the cherubim faced; the wheels did not turn about as the cherubim went. The cherubim went in whatever direction the head faced, without turning as they went.
10:12 Their entire bodies, including their backs, their hands and their wings, were completely full of eyes, as were their four wheels.
10:13 I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels.”
10:14 Each of the cherubim had four faces: One face was that of a cherub, the second the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
10:15 Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures I had seen by the Kebar River.
10:16 When the cherubim moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the cherubim spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not leave their side.
10:17 When the cherubim stood still, they also stood still; and when the cherubim rose, they rose with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in them.
10:18 Then the glory of the LORD departed from over the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim.
10:19 While I watched, the cherubim spread their wings and rose from the ground, and as they went, the wheels went with them. They stopped at the entrance to the east gate of the LORD’S house, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
10:20 These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the Kebar River, and I realized that they were cherubim.
10:21 Each had four faces and four wings, and under their wings was what looked like the hands of a man.
10:22 Their faces had the same appearance as those I had seen by the Kebar River. Each one went straight ahead.
10:1 Then I looked, and there, in the expanse that was over the heads of the cherubim, appeared the likeness of a throne over them, like the appearance of a sapphire stone.
10:2 And He spoke to the man clothed in linen and said, Go in between the whirling wheels, under the cherub, and fill the hollow of your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. And he went in, in my sight.
10:3 And the cherubim were standing on the right side of the house when the man went in, and the cloud filled the inner court.
10:4 And the glory of Jehovah rose up from the cherub to a place above the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of Jehovah.
10:5 And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of the Almighty God when He speaks.
10:6 And when He had commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim, the man went and stood beside the wheel.
10:7 And the cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim toward the fire that was between the cherubim, and he took some up and put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen; and the man took it and went forth.
10:8 And with the cherubim appeared the form of a man’s hand under their wings.
10:9 And I looked, and there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub and another wheel beside another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like the sight of beryl.
10:10 And as for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, as it were a wheel within a wheel.
10:11 As they went, they went in their four directions; they did not turn as they went, but to the place that the head faced they followed; they did not turn as they went.
10:12 And their whole body, their backs, their hands, and their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes all around, their wheels belonging to the four of them.
10:13 The wheels were called in my hearing the whirling wheels.
10:14 And every one had four faces. The first face was the face of a cherub; the second face was the face of a man; the third, the face of a lion; and the fourth, the face of an eagle.
10:15 Then the cherubim rose up. This was the living creature that I had seen by the river Chebar.
10:16 And whenever the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and whenever the cherubim lifted their wings to rise up from the earth, the wheels also did not turn from beside them.
10:17 When those stood still, these stood still; and when those rose up, these rose up with them; for the Spirit of the living creature was in them.
10:18 And the glory of Jehovah went forth from over the threshold of the house and stood over the cherubim.
10:19 And the cherubim lifted their wings and rose up from the earth in my sight when they went forth, and the wheels were next to them. And they stood at the entrance of the east gate of the house of Jehovah, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
10:20 This was the living creature that I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the river Chebar, and I knew that they were cherubim.
10:21 Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings; and the likeness of a man’s hands was under their wings.
10:22 And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces that I had seen by the river Chebar, both their appearance and themselves. Each went straight forward.
