10:1 Then I looked, and behold, in the firmament that was above
the head of the cherubim there appeared over them as it were a
sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
10:2 And he spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in
between the wheels, [even] under the cherub, and fill thy hand
with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter
[them] over the city. And he entered in my sight.
10:3 Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when
the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
10:4 Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, [and
stood] over the threshhold of the house; and the house was
filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness
of the LORD'S glory.
10:5 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.
10:6 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 cherubim; then he went in, and stood beside
the wheels.
10:7 And [one] cherub stretched forth his hand from between the
cherubim, to the fire that [was] between the cherubim, and took
[of it], and put [it] into the hands of [him that was] clothed
with linen: who took [it], and went out.
10:8 And there appeared in the cherubim the form of a man's hand
under their wings.
10:9 And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubim,
one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub:
and the appearance of the wheels [was] as the color of a beryl
stone.
10:10 And [as for] their appearances, they four had one
likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.
10:11 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.
10:12 And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands,
and their wings, and the wheels, [were] full of eyes on every
side, [even] the wheels that they four had.
10:13 As for the wheels, it was cried to them in my hearing, O
wheel.
10:14 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.
10:15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This [is] the living
creature that I saw by the river of Kebar.
10:16 And when the cherubim went, the wheels went by them: and
when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the
earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.
10:17 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.
10:18 Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the
threshhold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.
10:19 And the cherubim 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.
10:20 This [is] the living creature that I saw under the God of
Israel by the river of Kebar; and I knew that they [were] the
cherubim.
10:21 Every one had four faces each, and every one four wings;
and the likeness of the hands of a man [was] under their wings.
10:22 And the likeness of their faces [was] the same faces which
I saw by the river of Kebar, their appearances and themselves:
they went every one straight forward.
