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. |
