Bible. Ezekiel
By four ways... That is, by any of the four ways, forward, backward, to
the right or to the left.
10:12. And their whole body, and their necks, and their hands, and their
wings, and the circles were full of eyes, round about the four wheels.
10:13. And these wheels he called voluble, in my hearing.
Voluble... That is, rolling wheels, galgal.
10:14. And every one had four faces: one face was the face of a cherub,
and the second face, the face of a man: and in the third was the face of
a lion: and in the fourth the face of an eagle.
10:15. And the cherubims were lifted up: this is the living creature
that I had seen by the river Chobar.
10:16. And when the cherubims went, the wheels also went by them: and
when the cherubims lifted up their wings, to mount up from the earth,
the wheels stayed not behind, but were by them.
10:17. When they stood, these stood: and when they were lifted up, these
were lifted up: for the spirit of life was in them.
10:18. And the glory of the Lord went forth from the threshold of the
temple: and stood over the cherubims.
10:19. And the cherubims lifting up their wings, were raised from the
earth before me: and as they went out, the wheels also followed: and it
stood in the entry of the east gate of the house of the Lord: and the
glory of the God of Israel was over them.
10:20. This is the living creature, which I saw under the God of Israel
by the river Chobar: and I understood that they were cherubims.
10:21. Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings: and the
likeness of a man's hand was under their wings.
10:22. And as to the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces
which I had seen by the river Chobar, and their looks, and the impulse
of every one to go straight forward.
Ezechiel Chapter 11
A prophecy against the presumptuous assurance of the great ones. A
remnant shall be saved, and receive a new spirit, and a new heart.
11:1. And the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the east gate of
the house of the Lord, which looketh towards the rising of the sun: and
behold in the entry of the gate five and twenty men: and I saw in the
midst of them Jezonias the son of Azur, and Pheltias the son of Banaias,
princes of the people.
11:2. And he said to me: Son of man, these are the men that study
iniquity, and frame a wicked counsel in this city,
11:3. Saying: Were not houses lately built? This city is the caldron,
and we the flesh.
