1. Then I looked and saw in the dome above the heads of the living creatures something like a sapphire gem which looked like a throne.
|
1. Then I looked H7200 , and, behold H2009 , in H413 the firmament H7549 that H834 was above H5921 the head H7218 of the cherubims H3742 there appeared H7200 over H5921 them as it were a sapphire H5601 stone H68 , as the appearance H4758 of the likeness H1823 of a throne H3678 .
|
|
2. The Lord said to the man dressed in linen, "Go in between the wheels under the living creatures, fill your hands with coals of fire from between the living creatures, and scatter the coals over the city." As I watched, the man with linen clothes went in.
|
2. And he spoke H559 unto H413 the man H376 clothed H3847 with linen H906 , and said H559 , Go in H935 H413 between H996 the wheels H1534 , even under H8478 the cherub H3742 , and fill H4390 thine hand H2651 with coals H1513 of fire H784 from between H4480 H996 the cherubims H3742 , and scatter H2236 them over H5921 the city H5892 . And he went H935 in in my sight H5869 .
|
|
3. Now the living creatures were standing on the south side of the Temple when the man went in. And a cloud filled the inner courtyard.
|
3. Now the cherubims H3742 stood H5975 on the right side H4480 H3225 of the house H1004 , when the man H376 went in H935 ; and the cloud H6051 filled H4390 the inner H6442 H853 court H2691 .
|
|
4. Then the glory of the Lord went up from the living creatures and stood over the door of the Temple. The Temple was filled with the cloud, and the courtyard was full of the brightness from the glory of the Lord.
|
4. Then the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 went up H7311 from H4480 H5921 the cherub H3742 , and stood over H5921 the threshold H4670 of the house H1004 ; and the house H1004 was filled H4390 with H854 the cloud H6051 , and the court H2691 was full H4390 of H854 the brightness H5051 of the LORD H3068 's glory H3519 .
|
|
5. The sound of the wings of the living creatures was heard all the way to the outer courtyard. It was like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
|
5. And the sound H6963 of the cherubims H3742 ' wings H3671 was heard H8085 even to H5704 the outer H2435 court H2691 , as the voice H6963 of the Almighty H7706 God H410 when he speaketh H1696 .
|
|
6. When the Lord commanded the man dressed in linen, "Take fire from between the wheels, from between the living creatures," the man went in and stood by a wheel.
|
6. And it came to pass H1961 , that when he had commanded H6680 H853 the man H376 clothed H3847 with linen H906 , saying H559 , Take H3947 fire H784 from between H4480 H996 the wheels H1534 , from between H4480 H996 the cherubims H3742 ; then he went in H935 , and stood H5975 beside H681 the wheels H212 .
|
|
7. One living creature put out his hand to the fire that was among them, took some of the fire, and put it in the hands of the man dressed in linen. Then the man took the fire and went out.
|
7. And one cherub H3742 stretched forth H7971 H853 his hand H3027 from between H4480 H996 the cherubims H3742 unto H413 the fire H784 that H834 was between H996 the cherubims H3742 , and took H5375 thereof , and put H5414 it into H413 the hands H2651 of him that was clothed H3847 with linen H906 : who took H3947 it , and went out H3318 .
|
|
8. Something that looked like a human hand could be seen under the wings of the living creatures.
|
8. And there appeared H7200 in the cherubims H3742 the form H8403 of a man H120 's hand H3027 under H8478 their wings H3671 .
|
|
9. I saw the four wheels by the living creatures, one wheel by each living creature. The wheels looked like shining chrysolite.
|
9. And when I looked H7200 , behold H2009 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 color H5869 of a beryl H8658 stone H68 .
|
|
10. All four wheels looked alike: Each looked like a wheel crossways inside another wheel.
|
10. And as for their appearances H4758 , they four H702 had one H259 likeness H1823 , as if H834 a wheel H212 had been H1961 in the midst H8432 of a wheel H212 .
|
|
11. When the wheels moved, they went in any of the directions that the four living creatures faced. The wheels did not turn about, and the living creatures did not turn their bodies as they went.
|
11. When they went H1980 , they went H1980 upon H413 their four H702 sides H7253 ; they turned H5437 not H3808 as they went H1980 , but H3588 to the place H4725 whither H834 the head H7218 looked H6437 they followed H1980 H310 it ; they turned H5437 not H3808 as they went H1980 .
|
|
12. All their bodies, their backs, their hands, their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes all over. Each of the four living creatures had a wheel.
|
12. And their whole H3605 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. I heard the wheels being called "whirling wheels."
|
13. As for the wheels H212 , it was cried H7121 unto them in my hearing H241 , O wheel H1534 .
|
|
14. Each living creature had four faces. The first face was the face of a creature with wings. The second face was a human face, the third was the face of a lion, and the fourth was the face of an eagle.
|
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. Then the living creatures flew up. They were the same living creatures I had seen by the Kebar River.
|
15. And the cherubims H3742 were lifted up H7426 . This H1931 is the living creature H2416 that H834 I saw H7200 by the river H5104 of Chebar H3529 .
|
|
16. When the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them. When the living creatures lifted their wings to fly up from the ground, the wheels did not leave their place beside them.
|
16. And when the cherubims H3742 went H1980 , the wheels H212 went H1980 by H681 them : and when the cherubims H3742 lifted up H5375 H853 their wings H3671 to mount up H7311 from H4480 H5921 the earth H776 , the same H1992 wheels H212 also H1571 turned H5437 not H3808 from beside H4480 H681 them.
|
|
17. When the living creatures stopped, the wheels stopped. When the creatures went up, the wheels went up also, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
|
17. When they stood H5975 , these stood H5975 ; and when they were lifted up H7311 , these lifted up H7426 themselves also : for H3588 the spirit H7307 of the living creature H2416 was in them.
|
|
18. Then the glory of the Lord left the door of the Temple and stood over the living creatures.
|
18. Then the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 departed H3318 from off H4480 H5921 the threshold H4670 of the house H1004 , and stood H5975 over H5921 the cherubims H3742 .
|
|
19. As I watched, the living creatures spread their wings and flew up from the ground, with the wheels beside them. They stood where the east gate of the Temple of the Lord opened, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
|
19. And the cherubims H3742 lifted up H5375 H853 their wings H3671 , and mounted up H7426 from H4480 the earth H776 in my sight H5869 : when they went out H3318 , the wheels H212 also were beside H5980 them , and every one stood H5975 at the door H6607 of the east H6931 gate H8179 of the LORD H3068 's house H1004 ; and the glory H3519 of the God H430 of Israel H3478 was over H5921 them above H4480 H4605 .
|
|
20. These were the living creatures I had seen under the God of Israel by the Kebar River. I knew they were called cherubim.
|
20. This H1931 is the living creature H2416 that H834 I saw H7200 under H8478 the God H430 of Israel H3478 by the river H5104 of Chebar H3529 ; and I knew H3045 that H3588 they H1992 were the cherubims H3742 .
|
|
21. Each one had four faces and four wings, and under their wings were things that looked like human hands.
|
21. Every one H259 had four faces apiece H702 H702 H6440 , and every one H259 four H702 wings H3671 ; and the likeness H1823 of the hands H3027 of a man H120 was under H8478 their wings H3671 .
|
|
22. Their faces looked the same as the ones I had seen by the Kebar River. They each went straight ahead.
|
22. And the likeness H1823 of their faces H6440 was the same H1992 faces H6440 which H834 I saw H7200 by H5921 the river H5104 of Chebar H3529 , their appearances H4758 and themselves : they went H1980 every one H376 straight forward H413 H5676 H6440 .
