10:1 Then I looked, and, behold, over the
firmament that was above the head of the cherubs [there was] a likeness of a
throne over them, as a sapphire stone.
10:2 And he said to the man clothed with the [long] robe, Go in between the
wheels that are under the cherubs, and fill thine hands with coals of fire
from between the cherubs, and scatter [them] over the city. And he went in
my sight.
10:3 And the cherubs stood on the right hand of the house, as the man went
in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
10:4 Then the glory of the Lord departed from the cherubs to the porch of
the house; and the cloud filled the house, and the court was filled with the
brightness of the glory of the Lord.
10:5 And the sound of the cherubs' wings was heard as far as the outer
court, as the voice of the Almighty God speaking.
10:6 And it came to pas, when he gave a charge to the man clothed with the
sacred robe, saying, Take fire from between the wheels from between the
cherubs, that he went in, and stood near the wheels.
10:7 And he stretched forth his hand into the midst of the fire that was
between the cherubs, and took [thereof], and put [it] into the hands of the
man clothed with the sacred robe: and he took [it], and went out.
10:8 And I saw the cherubs [having] the likeness of men's hands under their
wings.
10:9 And I saw, and behold, four wheels stood by the cherubs, one wheel by
each cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the appearance of a
carbuncle stone.
10:10 And [as for] their appearance, [there was] one likeness to the four,
as if there should be a wheel in the midst of a wheel.
10:11 When they went, they went on their four sides; they turned not when
they went, for whichever way the first head looked, they went; and they
turned not as they went.
10:12 And their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels,
were full of eyes round about the four wheels.
10:13 And these wheels were called Gelgel in my hearing.
10:14
10:15 And the cherubs were the same living creature which I saw by the river
of Chobar.
10:16 And when the cherubs went, the wheels went, and they were close to
them: and when the cherubs lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth,
their wheels turned not.
10:17 When they stood, [the wheels] stood; and when they mounted up, [the
wheels] mounted up with them: because the spirit of life was in them.
10:18 Then the glory of the Lord departed from the house, and went up on the
cherubs.
10:19 And the cherubs lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth
in my sight: when they went forth, the wheels were also beside them, and
they stood at the entrance of the front gate of the house of the Lord; and
the glory of the God of Israel was upon them above.
10:20 This is the living creature which I saw under the God of Israel by the
river of Chobar; and I knew that they were cherubs.
10:21 Each one [had] four faces, and each one [had] eight wings; and under
their wings was the likeness of men's hands.
10:22 And [as for] the likeness of their faces, these are the [same] faces
which I saw under the glory of the God of Israel by the river of Chobar: and
they went each straight forward. |
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.
10:2 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.
10:3 Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man
went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
10:4 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.
10:5 And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard even to the outer
court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.
10:6 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.
10:7 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.
10:8 And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man's hand under
their wings.
10:9 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.
10:10 And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a
wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.
10:11 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.
10:12 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.
10:13 As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.
10:14 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.
10:15 And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I
saw by the river of Chebar.
10:16 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.
10:17 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.
10:18 Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the
house, and stood over the cherubims.
10:19 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.
10:20 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.
10:21 Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the
likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
10:22 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. |
