5. The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
6. It came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” that he went in, and stood beside a wheel.
7. The cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took some of it, and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.
8. There appeared in the cherubim the form of a man’s hand under their wings.
9. I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.
10. As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.
11. When they went, they went in their four directions: they didn’t turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it; they didn’t turn as they went.
12. Their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, even the wheels that the four of them had.
13. As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, “the whirling wheels”.
14. Every one them had four faces. The first face was the face of the cherub. The second face was the face of a man. The third face was the face of a lion. The fourth was the face of an eagle.
15. The cherubim mounted up: this is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.
16. When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also didn’t turn from beside them.
17. When they stood, these stood; and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
