5. The moving wings of the cherubim sounded like the voice of God Almighty and could be heard even in the outer courtyard.
6. The lord said to the man in linen clothing, “Go between the cherubim and take some burning coals from between the wheels.” So the man went in and stood beside one of the wheels.
7. Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand and took some live coals from the fire burning among them. He put the coals into the hands of the man in linen clothing, and the man took them and went out.
8. (All the cherubim had what looked like human hands under their wings.)
9. I looked, and each of the four cherubim had a wheel beside him, and the wheels sparkled like beryl.
10. All four wheels looked alike and were made the same; each wheel had a second wheel turning crosswise within it.
11. The cherubim could move in any of the four directions they faced, without turning as they moved. They went straight in the direction they faced, never turning aside.
12. Both the cherubim and the wheels were covered with eyes. The cherubim had eyes all over their bodies, including their hands, their backs, and their wings.
13. I heard someone refer to the wheels as “the whirling wheels.”
