the cherubim, that he went in, and stood beside a wheel.
010:007 The cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim
to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took [of it],
and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen,
who took it and went out.
010:008 There appeared in the cherubim the form of a man's hand
under their wings.
010:009 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 a beryl stone.
010:010 As for their appearance, they four had one likeness,
as if a wheel have been within a wheel.
010:011 When they went, they went in their four directions:
they didn't turn as they went, but to the place where the head
looked they followed it; they didn't turn as they went.
010:012 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.
010:013 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing,
the whirling [wheels].
010:014 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.
010:015 The cherubim mounted up: this is the living creature that I
saw by the river Chebar.
010:016 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 didn't turn from beside them.
010:017 When they stood, these stood; and when they mounted up,
these mounted up with them: for the spirit of the living
creature was in them.
010:018 The glory of Yahweh went forth from over the threshold of the house,
and stood over the cherubim.
010:019 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 Yahweh's house;
and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
010:020 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel
by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.
010:021 Every one had four faces, and every one four wings;
and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
010:022 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.
011:001 Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to
