[1] Then I looked, and see, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire§ stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne. [2] He spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, “Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city.”He went in as I watched. [3] Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court. [4] Yahweh’s glory mounted up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of Yahweh’s glory. [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] The form of a man’s hand appeared here in the cherubim under their wings. [9] I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub. 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, including their backs, their hands, 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. When they mounted up, these mounted up with them; for the spirit of the living creature was in them. [18] Yahweh’s glory went out from over the threshold of the house and stood over the cherubim. [19] The cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went out, with the wheels beside them. Then they stood at the door of the east gate of Yahweh’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. [20] This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim. [21] Every one had four faces, and every one four wings. The likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings. [22] As for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves. They each went straight forward.

Burning of the City
[1] Then I looked, H7200 (QalImpf) and, behold, in the firmament H7549 that was above the head H7218 of the cherubims H3742 there appeared H7200 (NiphPerf) over them as it were a sapphire H5601 stone, H68 as the appearance H4758 of the likeness H1823 of a throne. H3678 [2] And he spake H559 (QalImpf) unto the man H376 clothed H3847 (QalPasPtc) with linen, H906 and said, H559 (QalImpf) Go in H935 (QalImpv) between H996 the wheels, H1534 even under the cherub, H3742 and fill H4390 (PielImpv) thine hand H2651§ with coals H1513 of fire H784 from between H996 the cherubims, H3742 and scatter H2236 (QalImpv) them over the city. H5892 And he went in H935 (QalImpf) in my sight. H5869 [3] Now the cherubims H3742 stood H5975 (QalActPtc) on the right side H3225 of the house, H1004 when the man H376 went in; H935 (QalInf) and the cloud H6051 filled H4390 (QalPerf) the inner H6442 court. H2691 [4] Then the glory H3519 of the Lord H3068 went up H7311 (QalImpf)§ from the cherub, H3742 and stood over the threshold H4670 of the house; H1004 and the house H1004 was filled H4390 (NiphImpf) with the cloud, H6051 and the court H2691 was full H4390 (QalPerf) of the brightness H5051 of the Lord’s H3068 glory. H3519 [5] And the sound H6963 of the cherubims’ H3742 wings H3671 was heard H8085 (NiphPerf) even to the outer H2435 court, H2691 as the voice H6963 of the Almighty H7706 God H410 when he speaketh. H1696 (PielInf) [6] And it came to pass, that when he had commanded H6680 (PielInf) the man H376 clothed H3847 (QalPasPtc) with linen, H906 saying, H559 (QalInf) Take H3947 (QalImpv) fire H784 from between the wheels, H1534 from between the cherubims; H3742 then he went in, H935 (QalImpf) and stood H5975 (QalImpf) beside H681 the wheels. H212 [7] And one cherub H3742 stretched forth H7971 (QalImpf)§ his hand H3027 from between the cherubims H3742 unto the fire H784 that was between the cherubims, H3742 and took H5375 (QalImpf) thereof, and put H5414 (QalImpf) it into the hands H2651 of him that was clothed H3847 (QalPasPtc) with linen: H906 who took H3947 (QalImpf) it, and went out. H3318 (QalImpf) [8] And there appeared H7200 (NiphImpf) in the cherubims H3742 the form H8403 of a man’s H120 hand H3027 under their wings. H3671 [9] And when I looked, H7200 (QalImpf) behold the four H702 wheels H212 by H681 the cherubims, H3742 one H259 wheel H212 by H681 one H259 cherub, H3742 and another H259 wheel H212 by H681 another H259 cherub: H3742 and the appearance H4758 of the wheels H212 was as the colour H5869 of a beryl H8658 stone. H68 [10] And as for their appearances, H4758 they four H702 had one H259 likeness, H1823 as if a wheel H212 had been in the midst H8432 of a wheel. H212 [11] When they went, H3212 (QalInf) they went H3212 (QalInf) upon their four H702 sides; H7253 they turned H5437 (NiphImpf) not as they went, H3212 (QalInf) but to the place H4725 whither the head H7218 looked H6437 (QalImpf) they followed H3212 (QalImpf) it; they turned H5437 (NiphImpf) not as they went. H3212 (QalImpf) [12] And their whole body, H1320§ and their backs, H1354 and their hands, H3027 and their wings, H3671 and the wheels, H212 were full H4392 of eyes H5869 round about, H5439 even the wheels H212 that they four H702 had. [13] As for the wheels, H212 it was cried H7121 (PualPerf) unto them in my hearing, H241 O wheel. H1534§ [14] And every one H259 had four H702 faces: H6440 the first H259 face H6440 was the face H6440 of a cherub, H3742 and the second H8145 face H6440 was the face H6440 of a man, H120 and the third H7992 the face H6440 of a lion, H738 and the fourth H7243 the face H6440 of an eagle. H5404 [15] And the cherubims H3742 were lifted up. H7426 (NiphImpf) This is the living creature H2416 that I saw H7200 (QalPerf) by the river H5104 of Chebar. H3529 [16] And when the cherubims H3742 went, H3212 (QalInf) the wheels H212 went H3212 (QalImpf) by them: H681 and when the cherubims H3742 lifted up H5375 (QalInf) their wings H3671 to mount up H7311 (QalInf) from the earth, H776 the same wheels H212 also H1992 turned H5437 (NiphImpf) not from beside H681 them. [17] When they stood, H5975 (QalInf) these stood; H5975 (QalImpf) and when they were lifted up, H7311 (QalInf) these lifted up H7426 (NiphImpf) themselves also: for the spirit H7307 of the living§ creature H2416 was in them. [18] Then the glory H3519 of the Lord H3068 departed H3318 (QalImpf) from off the threshold H4670 of the house, H1004 and stood H5975 (QalImpf) over the cherubims. H3742 [19] And the cherubims H3742 lifted up H5375 (QalImpf) their wings, H3671 and mounted up H7426 (NiphImpf) from the earth H776 in my sight: H5869 when they went out, H3318 (QalInf) the wheels H212 also were beside H5980 them, and every one stood H5975 (QalImpf) at the door H6607 of the east H6931 gate H8179 of the Lord’s H3068 house; H1004 and the glory H3519 of the God H430 of Israel H3478 was over them above. H4605 [20] This is the living creature H2416 that I saw H7200 (QalPerf) under the God H430 of Israel H3478 by the river H5104 of Chebar; H3529 and I knew H3045 (QalImpf) that they were the cherubims. H3742 [21] Every one H259 had four H702 faces H6440 apiece, H259 and every one H259 four H702 wings; H3671 and the likeness H1823 of the hands H3027 of a man H120 was under their wings. H3671 [22] And the likeness H1823 of their faces H6440 was the same H1992 faces H6440 which I saw H7200 (QalPerf) by the river H5104 of Chebar, H3529 their appearances H4758 and themselves: they went H3212 (QalImpf) every one H376 straight H5676 forward.
