Context of Ezekiel 10:5

3Now the cheruvim stood on the right side of the House when the man went in. The cloud filled the inner court. 4Then the glory of Adonai rose up from above the cheruv to the threshold of the House. The House was filled with the cloud and the court was full of the brilliance of Adonai’s glory. The sound of the wings of the cheruvim was heard as far as the outer court, as the voice of El Shaddai when He speaks. 6After He commanded the man clothed in linen saying: “Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cheruvim,” he went in and stood beside a wheel. 7The cheruv reached out his hand from between the cheruvim into the fire that was between the cheruvim and took some of it. He put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who took it and went out.
