Context of Ezekiel 10:7

5The moving wings of the cherubim sounded like the voice of God Almighty and could be heard even in the outer courtyard. 6The Lord said to the man in linen clothing, “Go between the cherubim and take some burning coals from between the wheels.” So the man went in and stood beside one of the wheels. Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand and took some live coals from the fire burning among them. He put the coals into the hands of the man in linen clothing, and the man took them and went out. 8(All the cherubim had what looked like human hands under their wings.) 9I looked, and each of the four cherubim had a wheel beside him, and the wheels sparkled like beryl.
