| 1 | 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. |
| 2 | 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. |
| 3 | Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court. |
| 4 | 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. |
| 5 | And the sound of the cherubims’ wings was heard {even} to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh. |
| 6 | 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. |
| 7 | 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. |
| 8 | And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man’s hand under their wings. |
| 9 | 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. |
| 10 | And {as for} their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel. |
| 11 | 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. |
| 12 | 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. |
| 13 | As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel. |
| 14 | 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. |
| 15 | And the cherubims were lifted up. This {is} the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar. |
| 16 | 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. |
| 17 | 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. |
| 18 | Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims. |
| 19 | 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. |
| 20 | 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. |
| 21 | Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man {was} under their wings. |
| 22 | 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. |
