    1God’s Glory Leaves the Temple As I watched, I saw on the platform above the top of the cherubim something like a sapphire, resembling the shape of a throne, appearing above them.

    2The LORD said to the man dressed in linen,“Go between the wheelwork underneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” He went as I watched.

    3(The cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court.)

    4Then the glory of the LORD arose from the cherub and moved to the threshold of the temple. The temple was filled with the cloud while the court was filled with the brightness of the LORD’s glory.

    5The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard from the outer court, like the sound of the Sovereign God when he speaks.

    6When the LORD commanded the man dressed in linen,“Take fire from within the wheelwork, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood by one of the wheels.

    7Then one of the cherubim stretched out his hand toward the fire which was among the cherubim. He took some and put it into the hands of the man dressed in linen, who took it and left.

    8(The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.)

    9As I watched, I noticed four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub; the wheels gleamed like jasper.

    10As for their appearance, all four of them looked the same, something like a wheel within a wheel.

    11When they moved, they would go in any of the four directions they faced without turning as they moved; in the direction the head would turn they would follow without turning as they moved,

    12along with their entire bodies, their backs, their hands, and their wings. The wheels of the four of them were full of eyes all around.

    13As for their wheels, they were called“the wheelwork” as I listened.

    14Each of the cherubim had four faces: The first was the face of a cherub, the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.

    15The cherubim rose up; these were the living beings I saw at the Kebar River.

    16When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them; when the cherubim spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not move from their side.

    17When the cherubim stood still, the wheels stood still, and when they rose up, the wheels rose up with them, for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.

    18Then the glory of the LORD moved away from the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim.

    19When the living beings moved, the wheels beside them moved; when the living beings rose up from the ground, the wheels rose up too.

    20Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise up beside them because the spirit of the living being was in the wheel.

    21When the living beings moved, the wheels moved, and when they stopped moving, the wheels stopped. When they rose up from the ground, the wheels rose up from the ground; the wheels rose up beside them because the spirit of the living being was in the wheel.

    22Over the heads of the living beings was something like a platform, glittering awesomely like ice, stretched out over their heads.

    23Under the platform their wings were stretched out, each toward the other. Each of the beings also had two wings covering its body.

    24When they moved, I heard the sound of their wings– it was like the sound of rushing waters, or the voice of the Sovereign One, or the tumult of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings.

    25Then there was a voice from above the platform over their heads when they stood still.
