Ezekiel 10:2-14

2And He spokeH559 to the manH376 clothedH3847 in linenH906 and saidH559, “EnterH935 betweenH996 the 1whirlingH1534 wheelsH1534 underH8478 the 2cherubimH3742 and fillH4390 your handsH2651 with 3coalsH1513 of fireH784 from betweenH996 the cherubimH3742, and scatterH2236 them overH5921 the cityH5892.” And he enteredH935 in my sightH5869.

3Now the cherubimH3742 were standingH5975 on the rightH3225 sideH3225 of the 4templeH1004 when the manH376 enteredH935, and the cloudH6051 filledH4390 the 5innerH6442 courtyardH2691. 4Then the 6gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 wentH7311 upH7311 from the cherubH3742 to the thresholdH4670 of the templeH1004, and the 7templeH1004 was filledH4390 with the cloudH6051, and the courtyardH2691 was filledH4390 with the 8brightnessH5051 of the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068. 5Moreover, the soundH6963 of the wingsH3671 of the cherubimH3742 was heardH8085 as farH5704 as the outerH2435 courtyardH2691, like the 9voiceH6963 of 10GodH410 AlmightyH7706 when He speaksH1696.

6And it cameH1961 aboutH1961 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 reachedH7971 outH7971 with his handH3027 from betweenH996 the cherubimH3742 to the fireH784 whichH834 was betweenH996 the cherubimH3742, tookH5375 some coals and putH5414 them into the handsH2651 of the one clothedH3847 in linenH906; and he tookH3947 them and wentH3318 outH3318. 8The cherubimH3742 appearedH7200 to have somethingH8403 likeH8403 a humanH120 handH3027 underH8478 their wingsH3671.

9Then I lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, 11fourH702 wheelsH212 besideH681 the cherubimH3742, oneH259 wheelH212 besideH681 eachH259 cherubH3742; and the appearanceH4758 of the wheelsH212 was like the gleamH5869 of a 1213TarshishH8659 stoneH68. 10And as for their appearanceH4758, all fourH702 of them had the sameH259 likenessH1823, as ifH834 one wheelH212 were withinH8432 another wheelH212. 11When they movedH1980, they wentH1980 14in any of their fourH702 15directionsH7253 withoutH3808 turningH5437 as they wentH1980; but they followedH310H1980 in the directionH4725 whichH834 16they facedH6437H7218, withoutH3808 turningH5437 as they wentH1980. 12And their 17wholeH3605 bodyH1320, their backsH1354, their handsH3027, their wingsH3671 and the 18wheelsH212 were 19coveredH4392 with eyesH5869 allH5439 aroundH5439, the wheelsH212 belonging to all fourH702 of them. 13The wheelsH212 were calledH7121, 20as I heardH241, the 21whirlingH1534 wheelsH1534. 14And 22eachH259 oneH259 had fourH702 facesH6440. The firstH259 faceH6440 was the faceH6440 of a cherubH3742, the secondH8145 faceH6440 was the faceH6440 of a humanH120, the thirdH7992, the faceH6440 of a lionH743, and the fourthH7243, the faceH6440 of an eagleH5404.
