1Then 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.1And I looked and saw above the expanse, above the heads of the cherubim, the likeness of a throne of sapphire.
2And 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.2And 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.
3Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.3Now when the man went in, the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple, and a cloud filled the inner court.
4Then 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.4Then 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.
5And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.5The 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.
6And 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.6When 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.
7And 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.7Then 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.
8And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man's hand under their wings.8(The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.)
9And 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.9Then I looked and saw four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. And the wheels gleamed like a beryl stone.
10And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.10As for their appearance, all four had the same form, like a wheel within a wheel.
11When 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.11When 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.
12And 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.12Their entire bodies, including their backs, hands, and wings, were full of eyes all around, as were their four wheels.
13As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.13I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels.”
14And 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.14Each 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.
15And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.15Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures I had seen by the River Kebar.
16And 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.16When 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.
17When 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.17When 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.
18Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.18Then the glory of the LORD moved away from the threshold of the temple and stood above the cherubim.
19And 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.19As 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.
20This 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.20These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the River Kebar, and I knew that they were cherubim.
21Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.21Each had four faces and four wings, with what looked like human hands under their wings.
22And 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.22Their faces looked like the faces I had seen by the River Kebar. Each creature went straight ahead.
