Ezekiel 10

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