7
And
one cherubim stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim unto the fire that
was between the cherubim 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 cherubim the form of a man’s hand under their wings.
9
And when I looked, behold, four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by each cherubim; and the colour of the wheels
was as a stone of Tarsis
or beryl.
10
And
as for their appearance, the four were the same, as if one were in the midst of another.
11
When they went, they went upon their four sides; they did not turn as they went, but to the place where the first one went, they followed it; they did not turn as they went.
12
And all their flesh and their ribs and their hands and their wings and the wheels: they were full of eyes round about in their four wheels.
13
To the wheels, it was shouted unto them in my hearing, Roll!
14
And each one had four faces: the first face
was the face of a cherubim; the second face
was the face of a man; the third the face of a lion; the fourth the face of an eagle.
15
And the cherubim rose up. These
are the living creatures that I saw by the river of Chebar.
16
And when the cherubim went, the wheels went with them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also did not turn from beside them.
17
When they stood still,
these stood still; and when they lifted up themselves,
these lifted up themselves
also; for the spirit of the living creatures
was in them.
