Then I looked,
and, behold, in the firmament
that was above the head
of the cherubims
there appeared
over them as it were a sapphire
stone,
as the appearance
of the likeness
of a throne.
And he spake
unto the man
clothed
with linen,
and said,
Go in
between
the wheels,
even under the cherub,
and fill
thine hand
with coals
of fire
from between
the cherubims,
and scatter
them over the city.
And he went in
in my sight.

Now the cherubims
stood
on the right side
of the house,
when the man
went in;
and the cloud
filled
the inner
court.
Then the glory
of the LORD
went 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 the LORD'S
glory.

And the sound
of the cherubims'
wings
was heard
even to the outer
court,
as the voice
of the Almighty
God
when he speaketh.
And it came to pass, that when he had commanded
the man
clothed
with linen,
saying,
Take
fire
from between the wheels,
from between the cherubims;
then he went in,
and stood
beside
the wheels.
And one cherub
stretched forth
his hand
from between the cherubims
unto the fire
that was between the cherubims,
and took
thereof, and put
it into the hands
of him that was clothed
with linen:
who took
it, and went out.
And there appeared
in the cherubims
the form
of a man's
hand
under their wings.
And when I looked,
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,
they went
upon their four
sides;
they turned
not as they went,
but to the place
whither the head
looked
they followed
it; they turned
not as they went.
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 cried
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.
This is the living creature
that I saw
by the river
of Chebar.
And when the cherubims
went,
the wheels
went
by them:
and when the cherubims
lifted up
their wings
to mount up
from the earth,
the same wheels
also
turned
not from beside
them.
When they stood,
these stood;
and when they were lifted up,
these lifted up
themselves also: for the spirit
of the living creature
was in them.
Then the glory
of the LORD
departed
from off the threshold
of the house,
and stood
over the cherubims.
And the cherubims
lifted up
their wings,
and mounted up
from the earth
in my sight:
when they went out,
the wheels
also were beside
them, and every one stood
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 saw
under the God
of Israel
by the river
of Chebar;
and I knew
that they were the cherubims.
Every one
had four
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 saw
by the river
of Chebar,
their appearances
and themselves: they went
every one
straight
forward.
