Dual Panel1As I watched <07200>, I saw <02009> on <0413> the platform <07549> above <05921> the top <07218> of the cherubim <03742> something like a sapphire <05601> <068>, resembling <04758> the shape <01823> of a throne <03678>, appearing <07200> above <05921> them.
2The Lord said <0559> to <0413> the man <0376> dressed <03847> in linen <0906>, “Go <0935> between <0996> the wheelwork <01534> underneath <08478> the cherubim <03742>. Fill <04390> your hands <02651> with burning <0784> coals <01513> from among <0996> the cherubim <03742> and scatter <02236> them over <05921> the city <05892>.” He went <0935> as I watched <05869>.
3(The cherubim <03742> were standing <05975> on the south side <03225> of the temple <01004> when the man <0376> went <0935> in, and a cloud <06051> filled <04390> the inner <06442> court <02691>.)
4Then the glory <03519> of the Lord <03069> arose <07311> from <05921> the cherub <03742> and moved <05921> to the threshold <04670> of the temple <01004>. The temple <01004> was filled <04390> with <0854> the cloud <06051> while the court <02691> was filled <04390> with <0854> the brightness <05051> of the Lord’s <03069> glory <03519>.
5The sound <06963> of the wings <03671> of the cherubim <03742> could be heard <08085> from <05704> the outer <02435> court <02691>, like the sound <06963> of the sovereign <07706> God <0410> when he speaks <01696>.
6When <01961> the Lord commanded <06680> the man <0376> dressed <03847> in linen <0906>, “Take <03947> fire <0784> from within <0996> the wheelwork <01534>, from among <0996> the cherubim <03742>,” the man went <0935> in and stood <05975> by <0681> one of the wheels <0212>.
7Then one of the cherubim <03742> stretched out <07971> his hand <03027> toward <0413> the fire <0784> which <0834> was among <0996> the cherubim <03742>. He took <05375> some and put <05414> it into <0413> the hands <02651> of the man dressed <03847> in linen <0906>, who took <03947> it and left <03318>.
8(The cherubim <03742> appeared <07200> to have the form <08403> of human <0120> hands <03027> under <08478> their wings <03671>.)
9As I watched <07200>, I noticed <02009> four <0702> wheels <0212> by <0681> the cherubim <03742>, one <0259> wheel <0212> beside <0681> each <0259> cherub <03742>; the wheels <0212> gleamed <05869> like <04758> jasper <08658> <068>.
10As for their appearance <04758>, all four <0702> of them looked the same, something <0259> <01823> like a wheel <0212> within <08432> a wheel <0212>.
11When they moved <01980>, they would go <01980> in <0413> any of the four <0702> directions <07253> they faced without <03808> turning <05437> as <03588> they moved <01980>; in the direction <04725> the head <07218> would turn <06437> they would follow <01980> <0310> without <03808> turning <05437> as they moved <01980>,
12along with their entire <03605> bodies <01320>, their backs <01354>, their hands <03027>, and their wings <03671>. The wheels <0212> of the four <0702> of them were full <04392> of eyes <05869> all around <05439>.
13As for their wheels <0212>, they were called <07121> “the wheelwork <01534>” as I listened <0241>.
14Each <0259> of the cherubim had four <0702> faces <06440>: The first <0259> was the face <06440> of a cherub <03742>, the second <08145> that of a man <0120>, the third <07992> that of a lion <0738>, and the fourth <07243> that of an eagle <05404>.
15The cherubim <03742> rose up <07426>; these <01931> were the living beings <02416> I saw <07200> at the Kebar <03529> River <05104>.
16When the cherubim <03742> moved <01980>, the wheels <0212> moved <01980> beside <0681> them; when the cherubim <03742> spread <05375> their wings <03671> to rise <07311> from <05921> the ground <0776>, the wheels <0212> did not <03808> move <05437> from their <01992> side <0681>.
17When the cherubim stood <05975> still, the wheels stood <05975> still, and when they rose up <07311>, the wheels rose up <07426> with them, for <03588> the spirit <07307> of the living beings <02416> was in the wheels.
18Then the glory <03519> of the Lord <03068> moved away <03318> from <05921> the threshold <04670> of the temple <01004> and stopped <05975> above <05921> the cherubim <03742>.
19The <0853> cherubim <03742> spread <05375> their wings <03671>, and they rose up <07426> from <04480> the earth <0776> while I watched <05869> (when they went <03318> the wheels <0212> went alongside <05980> them). They stopped <05975> at the entrance <06607> to the east <06931> gate <08179> of the Lord’s <03068> temple <01004> as the glory <03519> of the God <0430> of Israel <03478> hovered <04605> above <05921> them.
20These <01931> were the living creatures <02416> which <0834> I saw <07200> at the Kebar <03529> River <05104> underneath <08478> the God <0430> of Israel <03478>; I knew <03045> that <03588> they <01992> were cherubim <03742>.
21Each <0259> had four <0702> faces <06440>; each <0259> had four <0702> wings <03671> and the form <01823> of human <0120> hands <03027> under <08478> the wings <03671>.
22As for the form <01823> of their faces <06440>, they <01992> were the faces <06440> whose <0834> appearance <04758> I had seen <07200> at <05921> the Kebar <03529> River <05104>. Each <0376> one moved <01980> straight ahead <06440> <05676> <0413>.
