Chapter 10

1

THEN I looked, and, behold, in the expanse that was above the head of the Keruviym there appeared over them as it were a caphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

2

And he spoke unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the Keruv, and fill your hand with coals of fire from between the Keruviym, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.

3

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

4

Then the glory of Yahuah went up from the Keruv, 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 Yahuah's glory.

5

And the sound of the Keruviym's wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of El Shaddai when he speaks.

6

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

7

And one Keruv stretched forth his hand from between the Keruviym unto the fire that was between the Keruviym, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.

8

And there appeared in the Keruviym the form of a man's hand under their wings.

9

And when I looked, behold the four Ophaniym by the Keruviym, one Ophan by one Keruv, and another Ophan by another Keruv: and the appearance of the Ophaniym was as the color of a beryl stone.

10

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

11

When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.

12

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

13

As for the Ophaniym, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.

14

And everyone 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.

15

And the Keruviym were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Kevar.

16

And when the Keruviym went, the Ophaniym went by them: and when the Keruviym lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same Ophaniym also turned not from beside them.

17

When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the ruach of the living creature was in them.

18

Then the glory of Yahuah departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the Keruviym.

19

And the Keruviym lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the Ophaniym also were beside them, and everyone stood at the door of the east gate of Yahuah's house; and the glory of the Elohai of Yashar'el was over them above.

20

This is the living creature that I saw under the Elohai of Yashar'el by the river of Kevar; and I knew that they were the Keruviym.

21

Everyone had four faces apiece, and everyone four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

22

And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Kevar, their appearances and themselves: they went everyone straight forward.
