Ezekiel 10
1 Then I looked, and saw, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
| וָאֶרְאֶה וְהִנֵּה אֶל־הָרָקִיעַ אֲשֶׁר עַל־רֹאשׁ הַכְּרֻבִים כְּאֶבֶן סַפִּיר כְּמַרְאֵה דְּמוּת כִּסֵּא נִרְאָה עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃ |
2 He spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, "Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherubim, and fill both your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city." He went in as I watched.
| וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־הָאִישׁ ׀ לְבֻשׁ הַבַּדִּים וַיֹּאמֶר בֹּא אֶל־בֵּינוֹת לַגַּלְגַּל אֶל־תַּחַת לַכְּרוּב וּמַלֵּא חׇפְנֶיךָ גַֽחֲלֵי־אֵשׁ מִבֵּינוֹת לַכְּרֻבִים וּזְרֹק עַל־הָעִיר וַיָּבֹא לְעֵינָֽי׃ |
3 Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
| וְהַכְּרֻבִים עֹמְדִים מִימִין לַבַּיִת בְּבֹאוֹ הָאִישׁ וְהֶעָנָן מָלֵא אֶת־הֶחָצֵר הַפְּנִימִֽית׃ |
4 The glory of YHWH mounted 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 YHWH's glory.
| וַיָּרׇם כְּבוֹד־יְהֹוָה מֵעַל הַכְּרוּב עַל מִפְתַּן הַבָּיִת וַיִּמָּלֵא הַבַּיִת אֶת־הֶעָנָן וְהֶֽחָצֵר מָֽלְאָה אֶת־נֹגַהּ כְּבוֹד יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
5 The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of El Shaddai when he speaks.
| וְקוֹל כַּנְפֵי הַכְּרוּבִים נִשְׁמַע עַד־הֶחָצֵר הַחִֽיצֹנָה כְּקוֹל אֵל־שַׁדַּי בְּדַבְּרֽוֹ׃ |
6 It came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, "Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim," that he went in, and stood beside a wheel.
| וַיְהִי בְּצַוֺּתוֹ אֶת־הָאִישׁ לְבֻֽשׁ־הַבַּדִּים לֵאמֹר קַח אֵשׁ מִבֵּינוֹת לַגַּלְגַּל מִבֵּינוֹת לַכְּרוּבִים וַיָּבֹא וַֽיַּעֲמֹד אֵצֶל הָאוֹפָֽן׃ |
7 The cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took of it, and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.
| וַיִּשְׁלַח הַכְּרוּב אֶת־יָדוֹ מִבֵּינוֹת לַכְּרוּבִים אֶל־הָאֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר בֵּינוֹת הַכְּרֻבִים וַיִּשָּׂא וַיִּתֵּן אֶל־חׇפְנֵי לְבֻשׁ הַבַּדִּים וַיִּקַּח וַיֵּצֵֽא׃ |
8 There appeared in the cherubim the form of a man's hand under their wings.
| וַיֵּרָא לַכְּרֻבִים תַּבְנִית יַד־אָדָם תַּחַת כַּנְפֵיהֶֽם׃ |
9 I looked, and look, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub, and the appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.
| וָאֶרְאֶה וְהִנֵּה אַרְבָּעָה אוֹפַנִּים אֵצֶל הַכְּרוּבִים אוֹפַן אֶחָד אֵצֶל הַכְּרוּב אֶחָד וְאוֹפַן אֶחָד אֵצֶל הַכְּרוּב אֶחָד וּמַרְאֵה הָאוֹפַנִּים כְּעֵין אֶבֶן תַּרְשִֽׁישׁ׃ |
10 As for their appearance, the four of them had the same likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.
| וּמַרְאֵיהֶם דְּמוּת אֶחָד לְאַרְבַּעְתָּם כַּאֲשֶׁר יִהְיֶה הָאוֹפַן בְּתוֹךְ הָאוֹפָֽן׃ |
11 When they went, they went in their four directions: they didn't turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it; they didn't turn as they went.
| בְּלֶכְתָּם אֶל־אַרְבַּעַת רִבְעֵיהֶם יֵלֵכוּ לֹא יִסַּבּוּ בְּלֶכְתָּם כִּי הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר־יִפְנֶה הָרֹאשׁ אַחֲרָיו יֵלֵכוּ לֹא יִסַּבּוּ בְּלֶכְתָּֽם׃ |
12 Their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, even the wheels that the four of them had.
| וְכׇל־בְּשָׂרָם וְגַבֵּהֶם וִידֵיהֶם וְכַנְפֵיהֶם וְהָאוֹפַנִּים מְלֵאִים עֵינַיִם סָבִיב לְאַרְבַּעְתָּם אוֹפַנֵּיהֶֽם׃ |
13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, "the whirling wheels."
| לָאוֹפַנִּים לָהֶם קוֹרָא הַגַּלְגַּל בְּאׇזְנָֽי׃ |
14 Every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third face the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
| וְאַרְבָּעָה פָנִים לְאֶחָד פְּנֵי הָאֶחָד פְּנֵי הַכְּרוּב וּפְנֵי הַשֵּׁנִי פְּנֵי אָדָם וְהַשְּׁלִישִׁי פְּנֵי אַרְיֵה וְהָרְבִיעִי פְּנֵי־נָֽשֶׁר׃ |
15 The cherubim mounted up: this is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.
| וַיֵּרֹמּוּ הַכְּרוּבִים הִיא הַחַיָּה אֲשֶׁר רָאִיתִי בִּֽנְהַר־כְּבָֽר׃ |
16 When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also didn't turn from beside them.
| וּבְלֶכֶת הַכְּרוּבִים יֵלְכוּ הָאוֹפַנִּים אֶצְלָם וּבִשְׂאֵת הַכְּרוּבִים אֶת־כַּנְפֵיהֶם לָרוּם מֵעַל הָאָרֶץ לֹֽא־יִסַּבּוּ הָאוֹפַנִּים גַּם־הֵם מֵאֶצְלָֽם׃ |
17 When they stood, these stood; and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
| בְּעׇמְדָם יַעֲמֹדוּ וּבְרוֹמָם יֵרוֹמּוּ אוֹתָם כִּי רוּחַ הַחַיָּה בָּהֶֽם׃ |
18 The glory of YHWH went forth from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.
| וַיֵּצֵא כְּבוֹד יְהֹוָה מֵעַל מִפְתַּן הַבָּיִת וַֽיַּעֲמֹד עַל־הַכְּרוּבִֽים׃ |
19 The cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went forth, and the wheels beside them: and they stood at the door of the east gate of YHWH's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
| וַיִּשְׂאוּ הַכְּרוּבִים אֶת־כַּנְפֵיהֶם וַיֵּרוֹמּוּ מִן־הָאָרֶץ לְעֵינַי בְּצֵאתָם וְהָאוֹפַנִּים לְעֻמָּתָם וַֽיַּעֲמֹד פֶּתַח שַׁעַר בֵּית־יְהֹוָה הַקַּדְמוֹנִי וּכְבוֹד אֱלֹהֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל עֲלֵיהֶם מִלְמָֽעְלָה׃ |
20 These were the living creatures that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.
| הִיא הַחַיָּה אֲשֶׁר רָאִיתִי תַּחַת אֱלֹהֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּֽנְהַר־כְּבָר וָאֵדַע כִּי כְרוּבִים הֵֽמָּה׃ |
21 Every one had four faces, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
| אַרְבָּעָה אַרְבָּעָה פָנִים לְאֶחָד וְאַרְבַּע כְּנָפַיִם לְאֶחָד וּדְמוּת יְדֵי אָדָם תַּחַת כַּנְפֵיהֶֽם׃ |
22 As for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; they went every one straight forward.
| וּדְמוּת פְּנֵיהֶם הֵמָּה הַפָּנִים אֲשֶׁר רָאִיתִי עַל־נְהַר־כְּבָר מַרְאֵיהֶם וְאוֹתָם אִישׁ אֶל־עֵבֶר פָּנָיו יֵלֵֽכוּ׃ |
