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
.
