1 T hen I looked, and behold, in the firmament that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

Then I looked, and behold, in the expanse that was over the heads of the cherubim something like a sapphire stone, in appearance resembling a throne, appeared above them.

2 A nd he spake unto the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both thy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.

And He spoke to the man clothed in linen and said, “Enter between the whirling wheels under the cherubim and fill your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” And he entered in my sight.

3 N ow the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

Now the cherubim were standing on the right side of the temple when the man entered, and the cloud filled the inner court.

4 A nd the glory of Jehovah mounted 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 Jehovah's glory.

Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub to the threshold of the temple, and the temple was filled with the cloud and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the Lord.

5 A nd the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaketh.

Moreover, the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when He speaks.

6 A nd it came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim, that he went in, and stood beside a wheel.

It came about when He commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” he entered and stood beside a wheel.

7 A nd the cherub 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 in linen, who took it and went out.

Then the cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire which was between the cherubim, took some and put it into the hands of the one clothed in linen, who took it and went out.

8 A nd there appeared in the cherubim the form of a man's hand under their wings.

The cherubim appeared to have the form of a man’s hand under their wings.

9 A nd I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like unto a beryl stone.

Then I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like the gleam of a Tarshish stone.

10 A nd as for their appearance, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel have been within a wheel.

As for their appearance, all four of them had the same likeness, as if one wheel were within another wheel.

11 W hen they went, they went in their four directions: they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.

When they moved, they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went; but they followed in the direction which they faced, without turning as they went.

12 A nd 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.

Their whole body, their backs, their hands, their wings and the wheels were full of eyes all around, the wheels belonging to all four of them.

13 A s for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, the whirling wheels.

The wheels were called in my hearing, the whirling wheels.

14 A nd every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third face the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

And each one had four faces. The first face was the face of a cherub, the second face was the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

15 A nd the cherubim mounted up: this is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.

Then the cherubim rose up. They are the living beings that I saw by the river Chebar.

16 A nd when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also turned not from beside them.

Now when the cherubim moved, the wheels would go beside them; also when the cherubim lifted up their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels would not turn from beside them.

17 W hen they stood, these stood; and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

When the cherubim stood still, the wheels would stand still; and when they rose up, the wheels would rise with them, for the spirit of the living beings was in them.

18 A nd the glory of Jehovah went forth from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.

Then the glory of the Lord departed from the threshold of the temple and stood over the cherubim.

19 A nd the cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went forth, and the wheels beside them: and they stood at the door of the east gate of Jehovah's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

When the cherubim departed, they lifted their wings and rose up from the earth in my sight with the wheels beside them; and they stood still at the entrance of the east gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel hovered over them.

20 T his is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.

These are the living beings that I saw beneath the God of Israel by the river Chebar; so I knew that they were cherubim.

21 E very one had four faces, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

Each one had four faces and each one four wings, and beneath their wings was the form of human hands.

22 A nd as for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; they went every one straight forward.

As for the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces whose appearance I had seen by the river Chebar. Each one went straight ahead.
