Ezekiel 10
The vision of the coals of fire, to be scattered over the city.
Ezekiel 10:1 Then I looked, and beholde, in the firmament that [was] aboue the head of the Cherubims, there appeared ouer them as [it were] a Saphir stone, as the appearance of the likenesse of a throne. Ezekiel 10:2 And hee spake vnto the man clothed with linnen, and sayd, Goe in between the wheeles, [euen] vnder the Cherub, and fill thine hand with coales of fire from betweene the Cherubims, and scatter them ouer the city. And he went in my sight. Ezekiel 10:3 Now the Cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in, and the cloud filled the inner court. Ezekiel 10:4 Then the glory of the LORD went vp from the Cherub, [and stood] ouer the threshold of the house, and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightnesse of the LORDS glory. Ezekiel 10:5 And the sound of the Cherubims wings was heard euen to the vtter court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh. Ezekiel 10:6 And it came to passe [that] when he had commanded the man clothed with linnen, saying; Take fire from betweene the wheeles, from betweene the Cherubims; then he went in and stood beside the wheeles. Ezekiel 10:7 And one Cherub stretched forth his hand from betweene the Cherubims vnto the fire that [was] betweene the Cherubims: and tooke [thereof], and put it into the handes of him that was clothed with linnen, who tooke it, and went out.
The vision of the cherubims.
Ezekiel 10:8 And there appeared in the Cherubims, the forme of a mans hand vnder their wings. Ezekiel 10:9 And when I looked, behold the foure wheeles by the Cherubims, one wheele by one Cherub, and an other wheele by an other Cherub: and the appearance of the wheeles [was] as the colour of a Berill stone. Ezekiel 10:10 And as for their appearances, they foure [had] one likenes as if a wheele had bene in the midst of a wheele. Ezekiel 10:11 When they went, they went vpon their foure sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked, they followed it; they turned not as they went. Ezekiel 10:12 And their whole body, and their backes, and their handes, and their wings, and the wheeles, [were] ful of eyes round about, [euen] the wheeles that they foure [had]. Ezekiel 10:13 As for the wheeles, it was cried vnto them in my hearing, O wheele. Ezekiel 10:14 And euery one [had] foure faces: the first face [was] the face of a Cherub, 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. Ezekiel 10:15 And the Cherubims were lifted vp, this [is] the liuing creature that I saw by the riuer of Chebar. Ezekiel 10:16 And when the Cherubims went, the wheeles went by them: and when the Cherubims lift vp their wings, to mount vp from the earth, the same wheels also turned not fro beside them. Ezekiel 10:17 When they stood, [these] stood, and when they were lifted vp, [these] lift vp themselues [also]: for the spirit of the liuing creature [was] in them. Ezekiel 10:18 Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood ouer the Cherubims. Ezekiel 10:19 And the Cherubims lift vp their wings, and mounted vp from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheeles also [were] besides them, and [euery one] stood at the doore of the East gate of the LORDS house, and the glorie of the God of Israel [was] ouer them aboue. Ezekiel 10:20 This [is] the liuing creature that I saw vnder the God of Israel, by the riuer of Chebar, and I knew that they [were] the Cherubims. Ezekiel 10:21 Euery one had foure faces a piece, and euery one foure wings, and the likenesse of the handes of a man [was] vnder their wings. Ezekiel 10:22 And the likenesse of their faces [was] the same faces which I saw by the riuer of Chebar, their appearances and themselues: they went euery one straight forward.
