• Ezek 10:2-9 : 2 And He said to the man clothed in linen, 'Go in among the wheels beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.' And he went in as I watched. 3 The cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man entered, and the cloud filled the inner court. 4 Then the glory of the Lord rose up from above the cherub and moved to the threshold of the temple. The temple was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the Lord's glory. 5 The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when He speaks. 6 When He commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, 'Take fire from within the wheels, from among the cherubim,' the man went in and stood beside a wheel. 7 Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand to the fire that was among them, took some, and put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who took it and went out. 8 Under the wings of the cherubim could be seen something like the form of a human hand. 9 I looked, and I saw four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. The appearance of the wheels was like the gleam of a beryl stone. 10 All four wheels looked alike in their appearance, resembling a wheel within a wheel. 11 When they moved, they went in any of the four directions without turning as they went. They followed the direction the head faced and did not turn as they moved. 12 Their entire bodies, backs, hands, wings, and the wheels were completely covered with eyes all around—the wheels belonged to all four of them. 13 I heard the wheels being called 'whirling wheels' in my hearing. 14 Each cherub had four faces: one was the face of a cherub, the second the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. 15 The cherubim rose upward; they were the living beings I had seen by the Kebar River. 16 When the cherubim moved, the wheels would go beside them, and when the cherubim lifted their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not turn away but stayed close to them. 17 When the cherubim stood still, the wheels stood still, and when they rose, the wheels rose with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in them. 18 Then the glory of the LORD departed from over the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim. 19 As I watched, the cherubim lifted their wings and rose from the ground, with the wheels beside them. They stopped at the entrance to the eastern gate of the LORD's house, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them. 20 These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the Kebar River, and I realized that they were cherubim. 21 Each had four faces and four wings, and under their wings was what looked like human hands. 22 Their faces looked like those I had seen by the Kebar River. Each one moved straight ahead, in the direction of its face.

One wing of each cherub touched one wall, and their other wings touched each other in the center of the house. 28 He overlaid the cherubim with gold. 29 He decorated the walls of the house all around with carved engravings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, both in the inner and outer rooms. 30 He also overlaid the floor of the house with gold, both the inner and the outer rooms. 31 For the entrance to the inner sanctuary, he made doors of olive wood; the doorposts formed a pentagon. 32 The two doors were made of olive wood, and he carved on them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. He overlaid them with gold and spread the gold over the cherubim and the palm trees. 33 In the same way, he made doorposts of olive wood for the entrance to the main hall. They were four-sided. 34 The two doors were of cypress wood. Each door had two folding panels; one door had two folding sections, and the other door also had two folding sections. 35 He carved cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers on them, and he overlaid the carvings with evenly applied gold.
