| Chapter
10 |
| 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, 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. |
| 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, 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 even
to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh. |
| 6 | 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. |
| 7 | 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. |
|
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 was as the colour of a beryl stone. |
| 10 | And 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, were full of eyes round
about, 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 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. |
| 15
| And the cherubims were lifted up. This 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, these stood; and when they were lifted up,
these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature 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 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. |
| 20
| 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. |
| 21 | Every one had four faces apiece, and
every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their
wings. |
| 22 | 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. |
