Ezekiel 10:12-22 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

12. And their whole body, and their rims, and their spokes, and their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes all around—the wheels for the four of them.

13. Concerning the wheels, he was calling them “the wheelwork” in my hearing.

14. And each one had four faces; the face of the one was the face of a cherub, and the face of the second was the face of a human, and the face of the third was the face of a lion, and the fourth was the face of an eagle.

15. And the cherubim rose; that is, the living creatures that I saw at the Kebar River.

16. And when the cherubim went, the wheels beside them went; and when the cherubim lifted their wings to rise up from the earth, the wheels also did not turn aside from beside them.

17. When they stood, they stood, and at their rising, they rose with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in them.

18. And the glory of Yahweh went out from the threshold of the temple, and it stood above the cherubim.

19. And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and they rose from the earth before my eyes. At their going out, the wheels were beside them. And he stood at the doorway of the eastern gate of the temple of Yahweh, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.

20. This was the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel at the Kebar River, and I knew that they were cherubim.

21. Each one had four faces, and there were four wings for each, and the likeness of human hands was under their wings.

22. And the likeness of their faces, they were the faces that I saw at the Kebar River; thus was their appearance, and they each went straight ahead.
