Yechezkel 10 יחזקאל י׳

Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the keruvim there appeared over them something like a sapphire stone, like what appeared to be the shape of a throne.

And he spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the wheelwork, under the keruv, and fill thy hands with coals of fire from between the keruvim, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.

Now the keruvim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

Then the glory of the Lord went up from the keruv, and stood above the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the Lord’s glory.

And the sound of the wings of the keruvim was heard as far as the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaks.

And it came to pass, when he had commanded the man clothed with linen saying, Take fire from between the wheelwork, from between the keruvim; then he went in, and stood beside the wheel.

And one keruv stretched out his hand from between the keruvim unto the fire that was between the keruvim, and took, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed in linen: who took it, and went out.

And the keruvim appeared to have the form of a man’s hand under their wings.

And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the keruvim, one wheel by one keruv, and another wheel by another keruv: and the appearance of the wheels was like the colour of an emerald stone.

And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.

When they moved, they went towards their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place where the head turned they followed it; they turned not as they went.

And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.

As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, Haggalgal (The wheelwork.)

And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a keruv, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

And the keruvim mounted up. This is the same living creature that I saw by the river Kevar.

And when the keruvim moved, the wheels moved by them: and when the keruvim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also did not turn from beside them.

When they stood still, these stood still; and when they mounted up, these mounted also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

Then the glory of the Lord departed from above the threshold of the house, and stood over the keruvim.

And the keruvim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight, when they went out, with the wheels beside them; and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the Lord’s house; and the glory of the God of Yisra᾽el was over them above.

This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Yisra᾽el by the river Kevar; and I knew that they were keruvim.

Each one had four faces, and each one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

And as for the likeness of their faces, the faces were the same which I saw by the river Kevar, they were identical in their appearances: each one went straight forward.
