6. After the Lord commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from inside the wheelwork, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.
7. Then the cherub reached out his hand to the fire that was among them. He took some, and put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who took it and went out.
8. The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.
9. I looked, and there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. The luster of the wheels was like the gleam of beryl.
10. In appearance, all four had the same form, like a wheel within a wheel.
11. When they moved, they would go in any of the four directions, without pivoting as they moved. But wherever the head faced, they would go in that direction, without pivoting as they went.
12. Their entire bodies, including their backs, hands, wings, and the wheels that the four of them had, were full of eyes all around.
13. As I listened the wheels were called “the wheelwork.”
14. Each one had four faces: the first face was that of a cherub, the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.
15. The cherubim ascended; these were the living creatures I had seen by the Chebar Canal.
