1. 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.
2. And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, {cf15I even} under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter {cf15I them} over the city. And he went in in my sight.
3. Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
4. Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, {cf15I 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.
5. And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard {cf15I even} to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.
6. And it came to pass, {cf15I 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.
7. And {cf15I one} cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that {cf15I was} between the cherubims, and took {cf15I thereof}, and put {cf15I it} into the hands of {cf15I him that was} clothed with linen: who took {cf15I it}, and went out.
8. And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man's hand under their wings.
9. 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 {cf15I was} as the colour of a beryl stone.
10. And {cf15I as for} their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.
11. 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.
12. And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, {cf15I were} full of eyes round about, {cf15I even} the wheels that they four had.
13. As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.
14. And every one had four faces: the first face {cf15I was} the face of a cherub, and the second face {cf15I was} the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15. And the cherubims were lifted up. This {cf15I is} the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.
16. 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.
17. When they stood, {cf15I these} stood; and when they were lifted up, {cf15I these} lifted up themselves {cf15I also}: for the spirit of the living creature {cf15I was} in them.
18. Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.
19. And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also {cf15I were} beside them, and {cf15I every one} stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD'S house; and the glory of the God of Israel {cf15I was} over them above.
20. This {cf15I is} the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they {cf15I were} the cherubims.
21. Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man {cf15I was} under their wings.
22. And the likeness of their faces {cf15I was} the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
