The Glory of the Lord Leaves the Temple
1Then I looked, and behold, 10:1 [ch. 1:22] on the expanse that was over the heads of the cherubim there appeared above them something 10:1 See ch. 1:26like a sapphire,10:1 Or lapis lazuli in appearance like a throne.
2And he said to 10:2 See ch. 9:2the man clothed in linen, “Go in among 10:2 ver. 6, 13the whirling wheels underneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with 10:2 ch. 1:13burning coals from between the cherubim, and 10:2 [Rev. 8:5] scatter them over the city.”
And he went in 10:2 ver. 19before my eyes.
3Now the cherubim were standing 10:3 [Luke 1:11] on the south side of the house, when the man went in, and 10:3 See 1 Kgs. 8:10a cloud filled 10:3 See ch. 8:16the inner court.
4And 10:4 See ch. 1:28the glory of the Lord10:4 ver. 18, 19went up from the cherub to the threshold of the house, and the house 10:4 [See ver. 3above] was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with 10:4 [ch. 43:2]the brightness of the glory of the Lord.
5And 10:5 ch. 1:24the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, 10:5 ch. 1:24like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
6And when he commanded 10:6 See ch. 9:2the man clothed in linen, 10:6 [ver. 2] “Take fire from between 10:6 ver. 2the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” he went in and stood beside a wheel.
7And a cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took some of it and put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who took it and went out.
8The cherubim appeared to have 10:8 [ver. 21; ch. 1:8; 8:3]the form of a human hand under their wings.
910:9 [ch. 1:15] And I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one beside each cherub, and 10:9 ch. 1:16the appearance of the wheels was 10:9 [ch. 1:4] like sparkling 10:9 [ch. 1:16; Dan. 10:6]beryl.
10And as for their appearance, the four had the same likeness, as if a wheel were within a wheel.
1110:11 ch. 1:17When they went, they went in any of their four directions10:11 Hebrew to their four sides10:11 ch. 1:9without turning as they went, 10:11 [ver. 22]but in whatever direction the front wheel10:11 Hebrew the head faced, the others followed without turning as they went.
1210:12 [ch. 1:18]And their whole body, their rims, and their spokes, their wings,10:12 Or their whole body, their backs, their hands, and their wings and the wheels were full of eyes all around—the wheels that the four of them had.
13As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing 10:13 [See ver. 6above]“the whirling wheels.”
1410:14 [ch. 1:6] And every one had four faces: 10:14 [ch. 1:10] the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was 10:14 [ch. 1:5, 10; 41:19]a human face, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
1510:15 ver. 17, 19And the cherubim mounted up. These were 10:15 ch. 1:5the living creatures that I saw by 10:15 See ch. 1:1the Chebar canal.
1610:16 ch. 1:19And when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them. And 10:16 ch. 1:19when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels did not turn from beside them.
1710:17 ch. 1:20When they stood still, these stood still, and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them, for the spirit of the living creatures10:17 Or spirit of life was in them.
1810:18 [ver. 4] Then 10:18 ch. 43:2; See ch. 1:28the glory of the Lord went out from the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.
1910:19 ch. 11:22And the cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth 10:19 ver. 2before my eyes as they went out, with the wheels beside them. And they stood at the entrance of the 10:19 ch. 11:1east gate of the house of the Lord, and 10:19 ch. 43:2; See ch. 1:28the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
2010:20 ch. 1:5These were the living creatures that I saw 10:20 ch. 1:22, 26underneath the God of Israel by 10:20 See ch. 1:1the Chebar canal; and I knew that they were cherubim.
2110:21 [ch. 1:6] Each had four faces, and each four wings, and underneath their wings 10:21 [ver. 8]the likeness of human hands.
2210:22 ch. 1:10And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces whose appearance I had seen by the Chebar canal. 10:22 [ver. 11]Each one of them went straight forward.
