Context of Ezekiel 10:19

17When they stood still, these stood still. When they rose up, these rose up with them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in them. 18Then the glory of Adonai went forth from above the threshold of the House and stood above the cheruvim. The cheruvim lifted up their wings and arose from the earth in my sight. When they went out, the wheels went with them. They stood still at the door of the east gate of Adonai’s House. The glory of the God of Israel was over them from above. 20They were the living creatures that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar. I knew that they were cheruvim. 21Each of them had four faces and each one four wings. The appearance of human hands was under their wings.
