Ezekiel 10

1 Then I looked, and behold, in the aexpanse that was over the heads of the cherubim something like a bsapphire stone, in appearance resembling a cthrone, appeared above them.
2 And He spoke to the man clothed in linen and said, "Enter between the awhirling wheels under the cherubim and fill your hands with bcoals of fire from between the cherubim and scatter them over the city." And he entered in my sight.
3 Now the cherubim were standing on the right side of the temple when the man entered, and the cloud filled the ainner court.
4 Then the aglory of the Lord went up from the cherub to the threshold of the temple, and the btemple was filled with the cloud and the court was filled with the cbrightness of the glory of the Lord.
5 Moreover, the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like the avoice of God Almighty when He speaks.
6 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.
7 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.
8 The cherubim appeared to have the form of a man's hand under their wings.
9 Then I looked, and behold, afour wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like the gleam of a bTarshish stone.
10 As for their appearance, all four of them had the same likeness, as if one wheel were within another wheel.
11 When they moved, they went ain any of their four directions without turning as they went; but they followed in the direction which they faced, without turning as they went.
12 Their awhole body, their backs, their hands, their wings and the bwheels were full of eyes all around, the wheels belonging to all four of them.
13 The wheels were called in my hearing, the whirling wheels.
14 And aeach 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.
15 Then the cherubim rose up. They are the aliving beings that I saw by the river Chebar.
16 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.
17 When the cherubim astood 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.
18 Then the glory of the Lord departed from the threshold of the temple and stood aover the cherubim.
19 When athe 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.
20 These are the aliving beings that I saw beneath the God of Israel by bthe river Chebar; so I knew that they were cherubim.
