Ezekiel 10:1-20

Ezekiel 10:1-20

[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  went up  from the cherub,  and stood over the threshold  of the house;  was filled  with the cloud,  and the court  was full  of the brightness  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] upon their four  sides;  they turned  but to the place  whither the head  looked  it; they turned  [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  [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  of a cherub,  and the second  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  the wheels  by them:  and when the cherubims  lifted up  their wings  to mount up  from the earth,  the same wheels  also  turned  not from beside  [17] When they 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.
