Ezekiel 10

1 Then I looked, and see, 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.

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.

2 He spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, “Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, 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.

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.

3 Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

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

4 Yahweh’s glory 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 Yahweh’s glory.

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.

5 The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.

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,

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.

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.

7 The cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took some of it, and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.

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,

8 The form of a man’s hand appeared here in the cherubim under their wings.

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

9 I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub. The appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.

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;

10 As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.

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

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.

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.

12 Their whole body, including their backs, their hands, their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, even the wheels that the four of them had.

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

13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, “the whirling wheels”.

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

14 Every one of them had four faces. The first face was the face of the cherub. The second face was the face of a man. The third face was the face of a lion. The fourth was the face of an eagle.

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 The cherubim mounted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.

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

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.

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;

17 When they stood, these stood. When they mounted up, these mounted up with them; for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

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

18 Yahweh’s glory went out from over the threshold of the house and stood over the cherubim.

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

19 The cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went out, with the wheels beside them. Then they stood at the door of the east gate of Yahweh’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

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.

20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.

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.

21 Every one had four faces, and every one four wings. The likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

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.

22 As for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves. They each went straight forward.

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.
