10:3Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

10:4Then 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.

10:5And the sound of the cherubims’ wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.

10:6And 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.

Selected passage

10:9And 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.

10:10And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.

10:11When 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.

10:12And 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.

10:13As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.

10:14And 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.

10:15And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.

10:17When 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.
