5. And the sound of the wings of the cherubims was heard even to the outward court as the voice of God Almighty speaking.
6. And when he had commanded the man that was clothed with linen, saying: Take fire from the midst of the wheels that are between the cherubims: he went in and stood beside the wheel,
7. And one cherub stretched out his arm from the midst of the cherubims to the fire that was between the cherubims: and he took, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it and went forth.
8. And there appeared in the cherubims the likeness of a man's hand under their wings.
9. And I saw, and behold there were four wheels by the cherubims: one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was to the sight like the chrysolite stone:
10. And as to their appearance, all four were alike: as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel.
11. And when they went, they went by four ways: and they turned not when they went: but to the place whither they first turned, the rest also followed, and did not turn back.
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.
13. And these wheels he called voluble, in my hearing.
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.
15. And the cherubims were lifted up: this is the living creature that I had seen by the river Chobar.
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.
