Chapter 10

  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 LORD 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 LORD'S 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 LORD 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 LORD'S 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.
