Chapter Ten
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 cherubim's 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 color of a barrel stone.
And as for their appearances, they forehad 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 their wheels were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they forehad.
As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, 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 Kibar.
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 everyone 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
Kibar.
And I knew that they were the cherubims.
Everyone had four faces apiece, and everyone 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 Kibar, their appearances and themselves.
They went, everyone, straight forward.
