Ezekiel 10:4-18

4Then the 1gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 wentH7311 up from the cherubH3742 to the thresholdH4670 of the templeH1004, and the 2templeH1004 was filledH4390 with the cloudH6051 and the courtH2691 was filledH4390 with the 3brightnessH5051 of the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068. 5Moreover, the soundH6963 of the wingsH3671 of the cherubimH3742 was heardH8085 as farH5704 as the outerH2435 courtH2691, like the 4voiceH6963 of 5GodH410 AlmightyH7706 when He speaksH1696.

6It cameH1961 about when He commandedH6680 the manH376 clothedH3847 in linenH906, sayingH559, “TakeH3947 fireH784 from betweenH996 the whirlingH1534 wheelsH1534, from betweenH996 the cherubimH3742,” he enteredH935 and stoodH5975 besideH681 a wheelH212. 7Then the cherubH3742 stretchedH7971 out his handH3027 from betweenH996 the cherubimH3742 to the fireH784 whichH834 was betweenH996 the cherubimH3742, tookH5375 some and putH5414 it into the handsH2651 of the one clothedH3847 in linenH906, who tookH3947 it and wentH3318 out. 8The cherubimH3742 appearedH7200 to have the formH8403 of a man’sH120 handH3027 underH8478 their wingsH3671.

9Then I lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, 6fourH702 wheelsH212 besideH681 the cherubimH3742, oneH259 wheelH212 besideH681 eachH259 cherubH3742; and the appearanceH4758 of the wheelsH212 was like the gleamH5869 of a 78TarshishH8659 stoneH68. 10As for their appearanceH4758, all fourH702 of them had the sameH259 likenessH1823, as ifH834 one wheelH212 were withinH8432 another wheelH212. 11When they movedH1980, they wentH1980 9in any of their fourH702 10directionsH7253 withoutH3808 turningH5437 as they wentH1980; but they followedH310H1980 in the directionH4725 whichH834 11they facedH6437H7218, withoutH3808 turningH5437 as they wentH1980. 12Their 12wholeH3605 bodyH1320, their backsH1354, their handsH3027, their wingsH3671 and the 13wheelsH212 were fullH4392 of eyesH5869 allH5439 aroundH5439, the wheelsH212 belonging to all fourH702 of them. 13The wheelsH212 were calledH7121 in my hearingH241, the whirlingH1534 wheelsH1534. 14And 14eachH259 oneH259 had fourH702 facesH6440. The firstH259 faceH6440 was the faceH6440 of a cherubH3742, the secondH8145 faceH6440 was the faceH6440 of a manH120, the thirdH7992 the faceH6440 of a lionH743, and the fourthH7243 the faceH6440 of an eagleH5404.

15Then the cherubimH3742 roseH7426 up. They are the 15livingH2421 beingsH2421 that I sawH7200 by the riverH5104 ChebarH3529. 16Now when the cherubimH3742 movedH1980, the wheelsH212 would goH1980 besideH681 them; also when the cherubimH3742 liftedH5375 up their wingsH3671 to riseH7311 from the groundH776, the wheelsH212 would not turnH5437 from besideH681 them. 17When 16the cherubim 17stoodH5975 stillH5975, 18the wheels would standH5975 stillH5975; and when they roseH7426 up, 19the wheels would riseH7311 with them, for the spiritH7307 of the livingH2421 beingsH2421 was in them.

18Then the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 departedH3318 from the thresholdH4670 of the templeH1004 and stoodH5975 20overH5921 the cherubimH3742.
