Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even* under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them* over the city. And he went in in my sight.
Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
Then the glory of the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w** went 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 the \+w LORD’s|strong="H3068"\+w** glory.
And the sound of the cherubims’ wings was heard even* to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.
And it came to pass, that* when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
And one* cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that was* between the cherubims, and took thereof*, and put it* into the hands of him that was* clothed with linen: who took it*, and went out.
¶ And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man’s hand under their wings.
And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was* as the colour of a beryl stone.
And as for* their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.
When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.
And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were* full of eyes round about, even* the wheels that they four had.
As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.
And every one had four faces: the first face was* the face of a cherub, and the second face was* the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
And the cherubims were lifted up. This is* the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.
And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.
When they stood, these* stood; and when they were lifted up, these* lifted up themselves also:* for the spirit of the living creature was* in them.
Then the glory of the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w** departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.
And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were* beside them, and every one* stood at the door of the east gate of the \+w LORD’s|strong="H3068"\+w** house; and the glory of the God of Israel was* over them above.
This is* the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were* the cherubims.
Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was* under their wings.
And the likeness of their faces was* the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
