Ezekiel 10:8-22

8The cherubimH3742 appearedH7200 to have the formH8403 of a man’sH120 handH3027 underH8478 their wingsH3671.

9Then I lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, 1fourH702 wheelsH212 besideH681 the cherubimH3742, oneH259 wheelH212 besideH681 eachH259 cherubH3742; and the appearanceH4758 of the wheelsH212 was like the gleamH5869 of a 23TarshishH8659 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 4in any of their fourH702 5directionsH7253 withoutH3808 turningH5437 as they wentH1980; but they followedH310H1980 in the directionH4725 whichH834 6they facedH6437H7218, withoutH3808 turningH5437 as they wentH1980. 12Their 7wholeH3605 bodyH1320, their backsH1354, their handsH3027, their wingsH3671 and the 8wheelsH212 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 9eachH259 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 10livingH2421 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 11the cherubim 12stoodH5975 stillH5975, 13the wheels would standH5975 stillH5975; and when they roseH7426 up, 14the 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 15overH5921 the cherubimH3742. 19When 16the cherubimH3742 departedH3318, they liftedH5375 their wingsH3671 and roseH7426 up from the earthH776 in my sightH5869 with the wheelsH212 besideH5980 them; and they stoodH5975 stillH5975 at the entranceH6607 of the eastH6931 gateH8179 of the Lord’sH3068 houseH1004, and the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 17hoveredH4480H4605 overH5921 them.

20TheseH1931 are the 18livingH2421 beingsH2421 that I sawH7200 beneathH8478 the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 by 19the riverH5104 ChebarH3529; so I knewH3045 that they were cherubimH3742. 2120EachH259 oneH259 had fourH702 facesH6440 and eachH259 oneH259 fourH702 wingsH3671, and beneathH8478 their wingsH3671 was the formH1823 of humanH120 handsH3027. 22As for the likenessH1823 of their facesH6440, they were the sameH1992 facesH6440 whoseH834 appearanceH4758 I had seenH7200 by the riverH5104 ChebarH3529. EachH376 oneH376 wentH1980 straightH413H5676H6440 aheadH6440.
