Ezekiel 10

1 Then looked I and lo! in the expanse which was over the head of the cherubim as a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne, appeared over them.

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.

2 Then said he unto the man clothed in linen—then said he Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both thy hands with live coals of fire from between the cherubim, and throw over the city. So he went in before mine eyes.

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.

3 Now the cherubim were standing on the right side of the house when the man went in, —and, the, cloud filled the inner court,

And the cherubs stood on the right hand of the house, as the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

4 Then arose the glory of Yahweh from off the cherub, unto the threshold of the house, —and the house was filled with the cloud, and the, court, was filled with the brightness of the glory of Yahweh.

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.

5 And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard, as far as the outer court, —like the voice of the Almighty GOD when he speaketh,

And the sound of the cherubs' wings was heard as far as the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God speaking.

6 So then it came to pass— when he commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim, then went he in and stood beside the wheel.

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.

7 And the cherub put forth his hand from between the cherubim unto the fire that was between the cherubim, and took up thereof and gave into the hands of him who was clothed with linen, —who took [it] and went forth,

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.

8 Now the cherubim appeared to have. the likeness of the hand of a man, under their wings.

And I saw the cherubs [having] the likeness of men's hands under their wings.

9 Then looked I. and lo! four wheels by the cherubim—one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub, —and the appearance of the wheels was to look upon like a Tarshish stone;

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.

10 and as for their appearance, one likeness, had they four, -as might be a wheel in the midst of a wheel.

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.

11 When they went, upon their four sides, they went, they turned not when they went, for to the place whithersoever the head turned, after it, they went, they turned not when they went.

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.

12 And all their flesh, and their back, and their hands and their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes round about, even their wheels which they four had

And their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about the four wheels.

13 To the wheels—to them, was made the cry— O whirling wheel! in mine ears.

And these wheels were called Gelgel in my hearing.

14 And four faces had each one, —the first face, was the face of a cherub, and, the second face, was the face of a man and the third was the face of a lion. and the fourth, was the face of an eagle.

15 Then arose the cherubim, —the same, was the living one, which I had seen by the river Chebar.

And the cherubs were the same living creature which I saw by the river of Chobar.

16 When the cherubim went, then went the wheels beside them, —and when the cherubim lifted up their wings, to arise from off the earth, the wheels themselves turned not from beside them;

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.

17 when they stood, these stood, and when they arose, these arose with them, —for, the spirit of the living one, was in them.

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.

18 And when the glory of Yahweh went forth from off the threshold of the house, —and stood over the cherubim,

Then the glory of the Lord departed from the house, and went up on the cherubs.

19 then the cherubim uplifted their wings and arose from the earth before mine eyes as they went forth, the wheels also in unison with them, —and it stood at the opening of the gate of the house of Yahweh that was toward the east, with the glory of the God of Israel over them, above.

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.

20 The same, was the living one which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar, - then knew I that cherubim, they were.

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.

21 Four faces severally, had each one, and four wings, had each one, —and the likeness of the hands of a man, was under their wings.

Each one [had] four faces, and each one [had] eight wings; and under their wings was the likeness of men's hands.

22 And as for the likeness of their faces, They were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves— every one straight before him, did they go.

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.
