Ezekiel 10:14–21

¹⁴Each one had four faces:^aj one was the face of a cherub, the second the face of a human, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

¹⁵The cherubim ascended; these were the living creatures I had seen by the Chebar Canal.^{a 16}When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them, and when they lifted their wings to rise from the earth, even then the wheels did not veer away from them. ¹⁷When the cherubim stopped,^b the wheels stood still, and when they ascended, the wheels ascended with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in them.

¹⁸Then the glory of the Lord moved away from the threshold of the temple^c and stopped above the cherubim.^{d 19}The cherubim lifted their wings and ascended from the earth right before my eyes;^e the wheels were beside them as they went. The glory of the God of Israel was above them, and it stopped at the entrance to the eastern gate of the Lord’s house.

²⁰These were the living creatures I had seen^f beneath the God of Israel by the Chebar Canal,^g and I recognized that they were cherubim. ²¹Each had four faces and each had four wings,^h with what looked something like human hands under their wings.
