2. And he said to the man dressed in linen: Go within the wheelwork under the cherubim; fill both your hands with burning coals from the place among the cherubim, then scatter them over the city. As I watched, he entered.
3. Now the cherubim were standing to the south of the temple when the man went in and a cloud filled the inner court.
4. The glory of the Lord had moved off the cherubim to the threshold of the temple; the temple was filled with the cloud, the whole court brilliant with the glory of the Lord.
5. The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far as the outer court; it was like the voice of God Almighty speaking.
6. He commanded the man dressed in linen: Take fire from within the wheelwork among the cherubim. The man entered and stood by one of the wheels.
