Then I looked, and above the vault over the heads of the cherubim appeared what looked like a sapphire stone, shaped like a throne.
And he said to the man clothed in linen, "Go in among the wheels, beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city." And he went in as I watched.
The cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man entered, and the cloud filled the inner court. [^1] [^1]: Hebrew: to the right of the temple, that is, the south side.
Then the glory of the LORD rose from above the cherub to the threshold of the temple. The temple was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the radiance of the glory of the LORD.
And the sound of the cherubim's wings was heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
When he commanded the man clothed in linen, "Take fire from among the wheels, from among the cherubim," the man went in and stood beside a wheel.
Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand toward the fire that was among them, took some of it, and put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who took it and went out.
Under the wings of the cherubim could be seen what looked like human hands.
I looked, and there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub, and the wheels gleamed like topaz.
In appearance the four of them were alike, each like a wheel within a wheel.
When they moved, they went in any of the four directions without turning as they went; they followed wherever the head faced, never turning as they went.
Their whole bodies—backs, hands, and wings—were covered with eyes all around, as were their four wheels.
I heard the wheels being called "the whirling wheels."
Each of them had four faces: the first was the face of a cherub, the second the face of a human, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures I had seen by the Kebar River.
When the cherubim moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the cherubim spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not leave their side.
When the cherubim stood still, the wheels stood still; when they rose, the wheels rose with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in them.
Then the glory of the LORD departed from the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim.
While I watched, the cherubim spread their wings and rose from the ground, and as they went, the wheels went with them. They stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the LORD's house, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the Kebar River, and I knew that they were cherubim.
Each had four faces and four wings, and under their wings were what looked like human hands.
Their faces had the same likeness as the faces I had seen by the Kebar River—their appearance and they themselves. Each one went straight ahead.
