Ezekiel 10
โ Ezekiel 09 | Ezekiel | Ezekiel 11 โ
v1
Then I looked, and see, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
v2
He spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, โGo in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city.โ He went in as I watched.
v3
Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
v4
Yahwehโs glory mounted up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of Yahwehโs glory.
v5
The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
v6
It came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, โTake fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,โ that he went in, and stood beside a wheel.
v7
The cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took some of it, and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.
v8
The form of a manโs hand appeared here in the cherubim under their wings.
v9
I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub. The appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.
v10
As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.
v11
When they went, they went in their four directions. They didnโt turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it. They didnโt turn as they went.
v12
Their whole body, including their backs, their hands, their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, even the wheels that the four of them had.
v13
As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, โthe whirling wheelsโ.
v14
Every one them had four faces. The first face was the face of the cherub. The second face was the face of a man. The third face was the face of a lion. The fourth was the face of an eagle.
v15
The cherubim mounted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.
v16
When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also didnโt turn from beside them.
v17
When they stood, these stood. When they mounted up, these mounted up with them; for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
v18
Yahwehโs glory went out from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.
v19
The cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went out, with the wheels beside them. Then they stood at the door of the east gate of Yahwehโs house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
v20
This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.
v21
Every one had four faces, and every one four wings. The likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
v22
As for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves. They each went straight forward.
