1
Then I looked[H7200], and, behold, in the firmament[H7549] that was above the head[H7218] of the cherubims[H3742] there appeared[H7200] over them as it were a sapphire[H5601]stone[H68], as the appearance[H4758] of the likeness[H1823] of a throne[H3678].
2
And he spake[H559] unto the man[H376]clothed[H3847] with linen[H906], and said[H559], Go in[H935]between[H996] the wheels[H1534], even under the cherub[H3742], and fill[H4390] thine hand[H2651] with coals[H1513] of fire[H784] from between[H996] the cherubims[H3742], and scatter[H2236] them over the city[H5892]. And he went in[H935]in[H935] my sight[H5869].
3
Now the cherubims[H3742]stood[H5975] on the right side[H3225] of the house[H1004], when the man[H376] went in[H935]; and the cloud[H6051]filled[H4390] the inner[H6442]court[H2691].
4
Then the glory[H3519] of the LORD[H3068] went up[H7311] from the cherub[H3742], and stood over the threshold[H4670] of the house[H1004]; and the house[H1004] was filled[H4390] with the cloud[H6051], and the court[H2691] was full[H4390] of the brightness[H5051] of the LORD[H3068]'S glory[H3519].
5
And the sound[H6963] of the cherubims[H3742]' wings[H3671] was heard[H8085] even to the outer[H2435]court[H2691], as the voice[H6963] of the Almighty[H7706]God[H410] when he speaketh[H1696].
6
And it came to pass, that when he had commanded[H6680] the man[H376]clothed[H3847] with linen[H906], saying[H559], Take[H3947]fire[H784] from between the wheels[H1534], from between the cherubims[H3742]; then he went in[H935], and stood[H5975]beside[H681] the wheels[H212].
7
And one cherub[H3742] stretched forth[H7971] his hand[H3027] from between the cherubims[H3742] unto the fire[H784] that was between the cherubims[H3742], and took[H5375] thereof, and put[H5414] it into the hands[H2651] of him that was clothed[H3847] with linen[H906]: who took[H3947] it, and went out[H3318].
8
And there appeared[H7200] in the cherubims[H3742] the form[H8403] of a man's hand[H3027] under their wings[H3671].
9
And when I looked[H7200], behold the four[H702]wheels[H212]by[H681] the cherubims[H3742], one[H259]wheel[H212]by[H681]one[H259]cherub[H3742], and another[H259]wheel[H212]by[H681]another[H259]cherub[H3742]: and the appearance[H4758] of the wheels[H212] was as the colour[H5869] of a beryl[H8658]stone[H68].
10
And as for their appearances[H4758], they four[H702] had one[H259]likeness[H1823], as if a wheel[H212] had been in the midst[H8432] of a wheel[H212].
11
When they went[H3212], they went[H3212] upon their four[H702]sides[H7253]; they turned[H5437] not as they went[H3212], but to the place[H4725] whither the head[H7218]looked[H6437] they followed[H3212] it; they turned[H5437] not as they went[H3212].
12
And their whole body[H1320], and their backs[H1354], and their hands[H3027], and their wings[H3671], and the wheels[H212], were full[H4392] of eyes[H5869] round about[H5439], even the wheels[H212] that they four[H702] had.
13
As for the wheels[H212], it was cried[H7121] unto them in my hearing[H241], O wheel[H1534].
14
And every one[H259] had four[H702]faces[H6440]: the first[H259]face[H6440] was the face[H6440] of a cherub[H3742], and the second[H8145]face[H6440] was the face[H6440] of a man[H120], and the third[H7992] the face[H6440] of a lion[H738], and the fourth[H7243] the face[H6440] of an eagle[H5404].
15
And the cherubims[H3742] were lifted up[H7426]. This is the living creature[H2416] that I saw[H7200] by the river[H5104] of Chebar[H3529].
16
And when the cherubims[H3742]went[H3212], the wheels[H212]went[H3212] by them[H681]: and when the cherubims[H3742] lifted up[H5375] their wings[H3671] to mount up[H7311] from the earth[H776], the same wheels[H212]also[H1992]turned[H5437] not from beside[H681]them[H681].
17
When they stood[H5975], these stood[H5975]; and when they were lifted up[H7311], these lifted up[H7426] themselves also: for the spirit[H7307] of the living creature[H2416] was in them.
18
Then the glory[H3519] of the LORD[H3068]departed[H3318] from off the threshold[H4670] of the house[H1004], and stood[H5975] over the cherubims[H3742].
19
And the cherubims[H3742] lifted up[H5375] their wings[H3671], and mounted up[H7426] from the earth[H776] in my sight[H5869]: when they went out[H3318], the wheels[H212] also were beside[H5980] them, and every one stood[H5975] at the door[H6607] of the east[H6931]gate[H8179] of the LORD'S house[H1004]; and the glory[H3519] of the God[H430] of Israel[H3478] was over them above[H4605].
20
This is the living creature[H2416] that I saw[H7200] under the God[H430] of Israel[H3478] by the river[H5104] of Chebar[H3529]; and I knew[H3045] that they were the cherubims[H3742].
21
Every one[H259] had four[H702]faces[H6440]apiece[H259], and every one[H259]four[H702]wings[H3671]; and the likeness[H1823] of the hands[H3027] of a man[H120] was under their wings[H3671].
22
And the likeness[H1823] of their faces[H6440] was the same[H1992]faces[H6440] which I saw[H7200] by the river[H5104] of Chebar[H3529], their appearances[H4758] and themselves: they went[H3212] every one[H376]straight[H5676]forward[H6440].
