Jezekiel 10
1 Then I looked, and, behold, over the firmament that was above the head of the cherubs [there was] a likeness of a throne over them, as a sapphire stone.
Then looking, I saw that on the arch which was over the head of the winged ones there was seen over them what seemed like a sapphire stone, having the form of a king's seat.
2 And he said to the man clothed with the [long] robe, Go in between the wheels that are under the cherubs, and fill your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubs, and scatter [them] over the city. And he went in my sight.
And he said to the man clothed in linen, Go in between the wheels, under the winged ones, and get your two hands full of burning coals from between the winged ones and send them in a shower over the town. And he went in before my eyes.
3 And the cherubs stood on the right hand of the house, as the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
Now the winged ones were stationed on the right side of the house when the man went in; and the inner square was full of the cloud.
4 Then the glory of the Lord departed from the cherubs to the porch of the house; and the cloud filled the house, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the Lord.
And the glory of the Lord went up from the winged ones and came to rest over the doorstep of the house; and the house was full of the cloud and the open square was full of the shining of the Lord's glory.
5 And the sound of the cherubs' wings was heard as far as the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God speaking.
And the sound of the wings of the winged ones was clear even in the outer square, like the voice of the Ruler of all.
6 And it came to pass, when he gave a charge to the man clothed with the sacred robe, saying, Take fire from between the wheels from between the cherubs, that he went in, and stood near the wheels.
And when he gave orders to the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the winged ones, then he went in and took his place at the side of a wheel.
7 And he stretched forth his hand into the midst of the fire that was between the cherubs, and took [thereof], and put [it] into the hands of the man clothed with the sacred robe: and he took [it], and went out.
And stretching out his hand to the fire which was between the winged ones, he took some of it and went out.
8 And I saw the cherubs [having] the likeness of men's hands under their wings.
And I saw the form of a man's hands among the winged ones under their wings.
9 And I saw, and behold, four wheels stood by the cherubs, one wheel by each cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the appearance of a carbuncle stone.
And looking, I saw four wheels by the side of the winged ones, one wheel by the side of a winged one and another wheel by the side of another: and the wheels were like the colour of a beryl stone to the eye.
10 And [as for] their appearance, [there was] one likeness to the four, as if there should be a wheel in the midst of a wheel.
In form the four of them were all the same, they seemed like a wheel inside a wheel.
11 When they went, they went on their four sides; they turned not when they went, for whichever way the first head looked, they went; and they turned not as they went.
When they were moving, they went on their four sides without turning; they went after the head in the direction in which it was looking; they went without turning.
12 And their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about the four wheels.
And the edges of the four wheels were full of eyes round about.
13 And these wheels were called Gelgel in my hearing.
As for the wheels, they were named in my hearing, the circling wheels.
And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a winged one, and the second was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15 And the cherubs were the same living creature which I saw by the river of Chobar.
And the winged ones went up on high: this is the living being which I saw by the river Chebar.
16 And when the cherubs went, the wheels went, and they were close to them: and when the cherubs lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, their wheels turned not.
And when the winged ones went, the wheels went by their side: and when their wings were lifted to take them up from the earth, the wheels were not turned from their side.
17 When they stood, [the wheels] stood; and when they mounted up, [the wheels] mounted up with them: because the spirit of life was in them.
When they were at rest in their place, these were at rest; when they were lifted up, these went up with them: for the spirit of life was in them.
18 Then the glory of the Lord departed from the house, and went up on the cherubs.
Then the glory of the Lord went out from the doorstep of the house, and came to rest over the winged ones.
19 And the cherubs lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went forth, the wheels were also beside them, and they stood at the entrance of the front gate of the house of the Lord; and the glory of the God of Israel was upon them above.
And the winged ones, lifting up their wings, went up from the earth before my eyes, with the wheels by their side: and they came to rest at the east doorway of the Lord's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them on high.
20 This is the living creature which I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chobar; and I knew that they were cherubs.
This is the living being which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and it was clear to me that they were the winged ones.
21 Each one [had] four faces, and each one [had] eight wings; and under their wings was the likeness of men's hands.
Every one had four faces and every one had four wings; and hands like a man's hands were under their wings.
22 And [as for] the likeness of their faces, these are the [same] faces which I saw under the glory of the God of Israel by the river of Chobar: and they went each straight forward.
As for the form of their faces, they were the faces whose form I saw by the river Chebar; when they went, every one of them went straight forward.
