Dual Panel1Then I looked<7200>, and behold<2009>, in the expanse<7549> that was over<5921> the heads<7218> of the cherubim<3742> something like a sapphire<5601> stone<68>, in appearance<4758> resembling<1823> a throne<3678>, appeared<7200> above<5921> them.
2And He spoke<559> to the man<376> clothed<3847> in linen<906> and said<559>, "Enter<935> between<996> the whirling<1534> wheels<1534> under<8478> the cherubim<3742> and fill<4390> your hands<2651> with coals<1513> of fire<784> from between<996> the cherubim<3742> and scatter<2236> them over<5921> the city<5892>." And he entered<935> in my sight<5869>.
3Now the cherubim<3742> were standing<5975> on the right<3225> side<3225> of the temple<1004> when the man<376> entered<935>, and the cloud<6051> filled<4390> the inner<6442> court<2691>.
4Then the glory<3519> of the LORD<3068> went<7311> up from the cherub<3742> to the threshold<4670> of the temple<1004>, and the temple<1004> was filled<4390> with the cloud<6051> and the court<2691> was filled<4390> with the brightness<5051> of the glory<3519> of the LORD<3068>.
5Moreover, the sound<6963> of the wings<3671> of the cherubim<3742> was heard<8085> as far<5704> as the outer<2435> court<2691>, like the voice<6963> of God<410> Almighty<7706> when He speaks<1696>.
6It came<1961> about when He commanded<6680> the man<376> clothed<3847> in linen<906>, saying<559>, "Take<3947> fire<784> from between<996> the whirling<1534> wheels<1534>, from between<996> the cherubim<3742>," he entered<935> and stood<5975> beside<681> a wheel<212>.
7Then the cherub<3742> stretched<7971> out his hand<3027> from between<996> the cherubim<3742> to the fire<784> which<834> was between<996> the cherubim<3742>, took<5375> some and put<5414> it into the hands<2651> of the one clothed<3847> in linen<906>, who took<3947> it and went<3318> out.
8The cherubim<3742> appeared<7200> to have the form<8403> of a man's<120> hand<3027> under<8478> their wings<3671>.
9Then I looked<7200>, and behold<2009>, four<702> wheels<212> beside<681> the cherubim<3742>, one<259> wheel<212> beside<681> each<259> cherub<3742>; and the appearance<4758> of the wheels<212> was like the gleam<5869> of a Tarshish<8659> stone<68>.
10As for their appearance<4758>, all four<702> of them had the same<259> likeness<1823>, as if<834> one wheel<212> were within<8432> another wheel<212>.
11When they moved<1980>, they went<1980> in any of their four<702> directions<7253> without<3808> turning<5437> as they went<1980>; but they followed<310><1980> in the direction<4725> which<834> they faced<6437><7218>, without<3808> turning<5437> as they went<1980>.
12Their whole<3605> body<1320>, their backs<1354>, their hands<3027>, their wings<3671> and the wheels<212> were full<4392> of eyes<5869> all<5439> around<5439>, the wheels<212> belonging to all four<702> of them.
13The wheels<212> were called<7121> in my hearing<241>, the whirling<1534> wheels<1534>.
14And each<259> one<259> had four<702> faces<6440>. The first<259> face<6440> was the face<6440> of a cherub<3742>, the second<8145> face<6440> was the face<6440> of a man<120>, the third<7992> the face<6440> of a lion<743>, and the fourth<7243> the face<6440> of an eagle<5404>.
15Then the cherubim<3742> rose<7426> up. They are the living<2421> beings<2421> that I saw<7200> by the river<5104> Chebar<3529>.
16Now when the cherubim<3742> moved<1980>, the wheels<212> would go<1980> beside<681> them; also when the cherubim<3742> lifted<5375> up their wings<3671> to rise<7311> from the ground<776>, the wheels<212> would not turn<5437> from beside<681> them.
17When the cherubim stood<5975> still<5975>, the wheels would stand<5975> still<5975>; and when they rose<7426> up, the wheels would rise<7311> with them, for the spirit<7307> of the living<2421> beings<2421> was in them.
18Then the glory<3519> of the LORD<3068> departed<3318> from the threshold<4670> of the temple<1004> and stood<5975> over<5921> the cherubim<3742>.
19When the cherubim<3742> departed<3318>, they lifted<5375> their wings<3671> and rose<7426> up from the earth<776> in my sight<5869> with the wheels<212> beside<5980> them; and they stood<5975> still<5975> at the entrance<6607> of the east<6931> gate<8179> of the LORD'S<3068> house<1004>, and the glory<3519> of the God<430> of Israel<3478> hovered<4480><4605> over<5921> them.
20These<1931> are the living<2421> beings<2421> that I saw<7200> beneath<8478> the God<430> of Israel<3478> by the river<5104> Chebar<3529>; so I knew<3045> that they were cherubim<3742>.
21Each<259> one<259> had four<702> faces<6440> and each<259> one<259> four<702> wings<3671>, and beneath<8478> their wings<3671> was the form<1823> of human<120> hands<3027>.
22As for the likeness<1823> of their faces<6440>, they were the same<1992> faces<6440> whose<834> appearance<4758> I had seen<7200> by the river<5104> Chebar<3529>. Each<376> one<376> went<1980> straight<413><5676><6440> ahead<6440>.
