And I looked and saw above the expanse , - above the heads of the cherubim , the likeness of a throne of sapphire ... ... - -.
And (the LORD) said to the man clothed in linen - , “ Go inside the wheelwork ... beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals ... from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city. ” And as I watched , he went in.
Now when the man went in , the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple , and a cloud filled - the inner court.
Then the glory of the LORD rose from above the cherubim (and stood) over the threshold of the temple. The temple - was filled with the cloud , and the court was filled - with the brightness of the glory of the LORD.
The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far as the outer court , like the voice of God Almighty when He speaks.
When the LORD commanded - the man clothed in linen , saying , “ Take fire from within the wheelwork , from among the cherubim , ” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.
Then one of the cherubim - reached out his hand - and took (some of) - the fire that was among (them). And he put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen , who received it and went out.
( The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings. )
Then I looked and saw four wheels beside the cherubim , one wheel beside each cherub. - - ... ... And the wheels gleamed like a beryl stone.
(As for) their appearance , all four had the same form , like ... a wheel within a wheel.
When they moved , they would go in any of the four directions , without turning as they moved. For wherever - the head faced , (the cherubim) would go in that direction , without turning as they moved.
Their entire bodies , including their backs , hands , and wings , - were full of eyes all around , as were their four wheels.
I heard the wheels being called “ the whirling wheels. ”
Each (of the cherubim) had four faces : the first face was that of a cherub , the second that of a man , the third that of a lion , and the fourth ... that of an eagle.
Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures - I had seen by the River Kebar.
When the cherubim moved , the wheels moved beside them , (and even when they) - spread their wings to rise from the ground , - the wheels did not veer away from their side.
When the cherubim stood still , the wheels also stood still , and when they ascended , the wheels ascended with them , for the spirit of the living creatures
Then the glory of the LORD moved away from the threshold of the temple and stood above the cherubim.
As I watched , the cherubim - lifted their wings and rose up from the ground , with the wheels beside them as they went. And they stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the house of the LORD , with the glory of the God of Israel above them.
These were the living creatures - I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the River Kebar , and I knew that they were cherubim.
Each ... had four faces and four wings , with what looked like human hands under their wings.
Their faces ... looked like the faces - I had seen by the River Kebar ... -. Each (creature) went straight ahead ... ....
