1 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. Then I looked, and behold, on the expanse that was over the heads of the cherubim there appeared above them something like a sapphire, in appearance like a throne. I looked, and I saw the likeness of a throne of lapis lazuli above the vault that was over the heads of the cherubim.
2 And he said to the man clothed with the long robe, Go in between the wheels that are under the cherubs, and fill thine hands with coals of fire from between the cherubs, and scatter them over the city. And he went in my sight. And he said to the man clothed in linen, “Go in among the whirling wheels underneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city.” And he went in before my eyes. The LORD said to the man clothed in linen, “Go in among the wheels beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” And as I watched, he went in.
3 And the cherubs stood on the right hand of the house, as the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court. Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the house, when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court. Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court.
4 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. And the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub to 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 the LORD. Then the glory of the LORD rose from above the cherubim and moved to the threshold of the temple. The cloud filled the temple, and the court was full of the radiance of the glory of the LORD.
5 And the sound of the cherubs' wings was heard as far as the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God speaking. And 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. The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far away as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
6 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. And when he commanded the man clothed in linen, “Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” he went in and stood beside a wheel. When the LORD commanded the man in linen, “Take fire from among the wheels, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.
7 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. And a 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 the man clothed in linen, who took it and went out. Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand to the fire that was among them. He took up some of it and put it into the hands of the man in linen, who took it and went out.
8 And I saw the cherubs having the likeness of men's hands under their wings. The cherubim appeared to have the form of a human hand under their wings. (Under the wings of the cherubim could be seen what looked like human hands.)
9 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. And I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one beside each cherub, and the appearance of the wheels was like sparkling beryl. I looked, and I saw beside the cherubim four wheels, one beside each of the cherubim; the wheels sparkled like topaz.
10 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. And as for their appearance, the four had the same likeness, as if a wheel were within a wheel. As for their appearance, the four of them looked alike; each was like a wheel intersecting a wheel.
11 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. When they went, they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went, but in whatever direction the front wheel faced, the others followed without turning as they went. As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the cherubim faced; the wheels did not turn about as the cherubim went. The cherubim went in whatever direction the head faced, without turning as they went.
12 And their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about the four wheels. And their whole body, their rims, and their spokes, their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes all around—the wheels that the four of them had. Their entire bodies, including their backs, their hands and their wings, were completely full of eyes, as were their four wheels.
13 And these wheels were called Gelgel in my hearing. As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing “the whirling wheels.” I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels.”
14 And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was a human face, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. Each of the cherubim had four faces: One face was that of a cherub, the second the face of a human being, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15 And the cherubs were the same living creature which I saw by the river of Chobar. And the cherubim mounted up. These were the living creatures that I saw by the Chebar canal. Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures I had seen by the Kebar River.
16 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. And 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 did not turn from beside them. When the cherubim moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the cherubim spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not leave their side.
17 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. When they stood still, these stood still, and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in them. When the cherubim stood still, they also stood still; and when the cherubim rose, they rose with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in them.
18 Then the glory of the Lord departed from the house, and went up on the cherubs. Then the glory of the LORD went out from the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim. Then the glory of the LORD departed from over the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim.
19 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. And the cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth before my eyes as they went out, with the wheels beside them. And they stood at the entrance of the east gate of the house of the LORD, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them. While I watched, the cherubim spread their wings and rose from the ground, and as they went, the wheels went with them. They stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the LORD’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
20 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. These were the living creatures that I saw underneath the God of Israel by the Chebar canal; and I knew that they were cherubim. These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the Kebar River, and I realized that they were cherubim.
21 Each one had four faces, and each one had eight wings; and under their wings was the likeness of men's hands. Each had four faces, and each four wings, and underneath their wings the likeness of human hands. Each had four faces and four wings, and under their wings was what looked like human hands.
22 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. And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces whose appearance I had seen by the Chebar canal. Each one of them went straight forward. Their faces had the same appearance as those I had seen by the Kebar River. Each one went straight ahead.
