King James Version
And
I looked and saw
above
the
expanse
, above the heads
of the cherubim
, the likeness of a throne of
sapphire
.
Then
I looked ,
and, behold,
in
the
firmament
that
was
above the head
of the cherubims
there
appeared
over
them
as
it
were
a
sapphire
stone
, as
the appearance
of
the
likeness of a throne.
And the
LORD
said
to
the man clothed in
linen, “
Go inside
the wheelwork
beneath
the cherubim.
Fill your
hands
with burning
coals from among
the cherubim
and scatter them over the city. ”
And as
I
watched,
he went in.
And he
spake
unto
the man clothed with
linen, and
said,
Go in
between
the wheels,
even
under
the cherub,
and
fill thine
hand
with coals of
fire
from between
the cherubims,
and scatter them over the city. And he went in in
my
sight
.
Now when
the man
went
in,
the
cherubim
were
standing
on the south
side of the temple
, and a
cloud filled the inner court.
Now the cherubims
stood
on the right
side of the house
, when
the
man
went
in;
and the
cloud filled the inner court.
Then the glory of the LORD rose
from above
the cherubim
and stood over the threshold of the temple.
The temple
was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled
with
the brightness of the glory of
the
LORD
.
Then the glory of the LORD went
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 the LORD's
glory.
The sound of the wings of
the
cherubim
could
be
heard as
far
as
the outer court, like
the voice of God
Almighty when He speaks
.
And
the sound of the cherubims'
wings was
heard even
to
the outer court, as
the voice of the
Almighty God
when he speaketh
.
When the
LORD
commanded the man clothed in
linen, saying, “
Take fire from within
the wheelwork
, from among
the
cherubim,”
the man
went in and stood beside a
wheel
.
And
it
came
to
pass,
that
when he
had
commanded the man clothed with
linen, saying, Take fire from between
the wheels
, from between
the cherubims;
then
he
went in ,
and stood beside the
wheels
.
Then
one of
the
cherubim
reached
out
his hand and
took
some
of
the fire that was among
them.
And he
put it into the hands of the
man
clothed in
linen ,
who received
it and went out.
And
one cherub
stretched
forth
his hand from
between
the cherubims
unto
the
fire that was between
the
cherubims,
and took
thereof,
and
put it into the hands of him
that
was
clothed with
linen :
who took
it ,
and went out.
(The
cherubim
appeared to
have
the form of human
hands
under their wings. )
And
there
appeared in
the cherubims
the
form of a
man's
hand
under their wings.
Then
I looked and
saw
four wheels beside
the cherubim
, one wheel beside
each
cherub .
And the wheels gleamed
like
a beryl stone.
And
when
I looked ,
behold
the
four wheels by
the cherubims
, one wheel by
one
cherub ,
and another
wheel
by
another
cherub:
and
the appearance
of
the
wheels was
as
the
colour
of
a beryl stone.
As for their appearance
, all
four had the
same
form
, like
a wheel within
a wheel.
And
as for their appearances
, they
four had one
likeness
, as
if
a wheel had
been
in
the
midst
of
a wheel.
When they moved
, they would
go
in
any
of
the
four directions,
without
turning
as they moved.
For
wherever
the
head
faced
, the cherubim
would
go
in
that
direction,
without
turning
as they moved
.
When they went
, they went
upon
their
four sides;
they
turned
not
as they went
, but
to
the place
whither
the
head
looked
they
followed
it;
they
turned
not
as they went
.
Their entire
bodies
, including
their backs, hands, and wings, were full of eyes all
around
, as
were
their
four
wheels.
And
their whole
body
, and
their backs, and
their
hands, and their
wings, and
the
wheels,
were full of eyes round
about
, even
the
wheels that
they
four
had
.
I
heard
the
wheels
being
called
“
the whirling
wheels. ”
As
for
the wheels ,
it
was
cried
unto
them
in
my
hearing,
O
wheel
.
Each
of
the
cherubim
had four faces: the first face was that
of a cherub, the second that
of a man, the third that
of a lion, and the fourth that
of an eagle.
And
every
one
had four faces: the first face was the
face
of a cherub, and
the second face
was
the
face
of a man, and
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 River Kebar
.
And
the cherubims
were lifted
up.
This
is
the living creature
that
I saw
by the river of
Chebar
.
When the cherubim
moved
, the wheels moved
beside
them ,
and even
when they
spread
their wings to rise
from the ground
, the wheels did
not veer
away
from their
side
.
And
when the cherubims
went
, the wheels went
by
them :
and when the
cherubims
lifted
up
their wings to mount
up
from the earth
, the same
wheels also
turned
not from beside
them
.
When the
cherubim
stood still
, the
wheels
also
stood still,
and when they ascended,
the
wheels
ascended
with
them
, for the spirit of the living creatures
was in the
wheels
.
When they
stood, these
stood ;
and when they were
lifted
up
, these
lifted
up
themselves
also:
for the spirit of the living creature
was in them
.
Then the glory of the LORD moved
away
from the threshold of the temple
and stood above
the cherubim
.
Then the glory of the LORD departed
from off
the threshold of the house,
and stood over
the cherubims
.
As
I
watched,
the cherubim
lifted their wings and rose
up from the ground
, with
the wheels beside them as
they
went.
And they
stopped
at the entrance
of the east gate of the house of
the
LORD,
with
the glory of the God of Israel above
them.
And
the cherubims
lifted up
their wings ,
and mounted
up from the earth
in
my
sight:
when
they
went
out
, the wheels also
were
beside them ,
and every
one
stood
at the door
of the east gate of the LORD's
house ;
and
the glory of the God of Israel was
over
them above
.
These
were
the living creatures
I had
seen
beneath
the God of Israel by the River Kebar,
and I knew that they were cherubim
.
This
is
the living creature
that
I saw
under
the God of Israel by the river of
Chebar;
and I knew that they were the
cherubims
.
Each
had four faces and four wings ,
with
what
looked
like
human
hands under their wings.
Every
one
had four faces apiece,
and every
one
four wings ;
and
the
likeness
of
the
hands of
a
man
was
under their wings.
Their faces looked
like
the faces I had
seen
by the River Kebar.
Each
creature
went straight ahead
.
And
the
likeness
of
their faces was
the same
faces which
I saw
by the river of
Chebar,
their
appearances
and
themselves:
they
went every
one
straight forward
.
