Ezekiel Chapter 10 (NASB)
undefined
Then I looked, and behold, in the expanse that was over the heads of the cherubim something like a sapphire stone, in appearance resembling a throne, appeared above them.
undefined
And He spoke to the man clothed in linen and said, 'Enter between the whirling wheels under the cherubim and fill your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim and scatter [them] over the city.' And he entered in my sight.
undefined
Now the cherubim were standing on the right side of the temple when the man entered, and the cloud filled the inner court.
undefined
Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub to the threshold of the temple, and the temple was filled with the cloud and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the LORD.
undefined
Moreover, the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when He speaks.
undefined
It came about when He commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, 'Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,' he entered and stood beside a wheel.
undefined
Then the cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire which was between the cherubim, took [some] and put [it] into the hands of the one clothed in linen, who took [it] and went out.
undefined
The cherubim appeared to have the form of a man's hand under their wings.
undefined
Then I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub; and the appearance of the wheels [was] like the gleam of a Tarshish stone.
undefined
As for their appearance, all four of them had the same likeness, as if one wheel were within another wheel.
undefined
When they moved, they went in [any of] their four directions without turning as they went; but they followed in the direction which they faced, without turning as they went.
undefined
Their whole body, their backs, their hands, their wings and the wheels were full of eyes all around, the wheels belonging to all four of them.
undefined
The wheels were called in my hearing, the whirling wheels.
undefined
And each one had four faces. The first face [was] the face of a cherub, the second face [was] the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
undefined
Then the cherubim rose up. They are the living beings that I saw by the river Chebar.
undefined
Now when the cherubim moved, the wheels would go beside them; also when the cherubim lifted up their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels would not turn from beside them.
undefined
When the cherubim stood still, the wheels would stand still; and when they rose up, the wheels would rise with them, for the spirit of the living beings [was] in them.
undefined
Then the glory of the LORD departed from the threshold of the temple and stood over the cherubim.
undefined
When the cherubim departed, they lifted their wings and rose up from the earth in my sight with the wheels beside them; and they stood still at the entrance of the east gate of the LORD'S house, and the glory of the God of Israel hovered over them.
undefined
These are the living beings that I saw beneath the God of Israel by the river Chebar; so I knew that they [were] cherubim.
undefined
Each one had four faces and each one four wings, and beneath their wings [was] the form of human hands.
undefined
As for the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces whose appearance I had seen by the river Chebar. Each one went straight ahead.
