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.
And I look, and lo, on the expanse that [is] above the head of the cherubs, as a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne, He hath been seen over them.
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 speaketh unto the man clothed with linen, and saith, 'Go in unto the midst of the wheel, unto the place of the cherub, and fill thy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubs, and scatter over the city.' And he goeth in before mine 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.
And the cherubs are standing on the right side of the house, at the going in of the man, and the cloud hath filled the inner court,
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 become high doth the honour of Jehovah above the cherub, over the threshold of the house, and the house is filled with the cloud, and the court hath been filled with the brightness of the honour of Jehovah.
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 a noise of the wings of the cherubs hath been heard unto the outer court, as the voice of God — the Mighty One — in His speaking.
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 it cometh to pass, in His commanding the man clothed with linen, saying, 'Take fire from between the wheel, from between the cherubs,' and he goeth in and standeth near the 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.
that the [one] cherub putteth forth his hand from between the cherubs unto the fire that [is] between the cherubs, and lifteth up, and giveth into the hands of him who is clothed with linen, and he receiveth, and cometh forth.
8 And I saw the cherubs [having] the likeness of men's hands under their wings.
And there appeareth in the cherubs the form of a hand of man 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 I look, and lo, four wheels near the cherubs, one wheel near the one cherub, and another wheel near the other cherub, and the appearance of the wheels [is] as the colour of a beryl stone.
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.
As to their appearances, one likeness [is] to them four, as it were the wheel in the midst of the 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.
In their going, on their four sides they go; they turn not round in their going, for to the place whither the head turneth, after it they go, they turn not round in their going.
12 And their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about the four wheels.
And all their flesh, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, are full of eyes round about; to them four [are] their wheels.
13 And these wheels were called Gelgel in my hearing.
To the wheels — to them is one calling in mine ears, 'O wheel!'
And four faces [are] to each; the face of the one [is] the face of the cherub, and the face of the second the face of man, and of the third the face of a lion, and of 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 cherubs are lifted up, it [is] the living creature that 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 in the going of the cherubs, the wheels go beside them; and in the cherubs lifting up their wings to be high above the earth, the wheels turn not round, even they, from being beside them.
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.
In their standing they stand, and in their exaltation they are exalted with them: for the living spirit [is] in them.
18 Then the glory of the Lord departed from the house, and went up on the cherubs.
And go forth doth the honour of Jehovah from off the threshold of the house, and standeth over the cherubs,
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 cherubs lift up their wings, and are lifted up from the earth before mine eyes; in their going forth, the wheels also [are] over-against them, and he standeth at the opening of the east gate of the house of Jehovah, and the honour of the God of Israel [is] over them from above.
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.
It [is] the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar, and I know that they are cherubs.
21 Each one [had] four faces, and each one [had] eight wings; and under their wings was the likeness of men's hands.
Four faces [are] to each, and four wings to each, and the likeness of the hands of man [is] 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 to the likeness of their faces, they [are] the faces that I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; each straight forward they go.
