10:14Each of the cherubim22 had four faces: The first was the face of a cherub,23 the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.
10:15The cherubim rose up; these were the living beings24 I saw at the Kebar River. 10:16When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them; when the cherubim spread25 their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not move from their side. 10:17When the cherubim26 stood still, the wheels27 stood still, and when they rose up, the wheels28 rose up with them, for the spirit29 of the living beings30 was in the wheels.31
10:18Then the glory of the Lord moved away from the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim. 10:19The cherubim spread32 their wings, and they rose up from the earth33 while I watched (when they went the wheels went alongside them). They stopped at the entrance to the east gate of the Lord’s temple as the glory of the God of Israel hovered above them.
10:20These were the living creatures34 which I saw at the Kebar River underneath the God of Israel; I knew that they were cherubim. 10:21Each had four faces; each had four wings and the form of human hands under the wings.
Footnotes
- 22 Heb “each one”; the referent (the cherubim) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 23 The living creature described here is thus slightly different from the one described in Ezek 1:10, where a bull’s face appeared instead of a cherub’s. Note that some English versions harmonize the two descriptions and read the same here as in 1:10 (cf. , “an ox”; , “a bull”). This may be justified based on v. 22, which states the creatures’ appearance was the same.
- 24 Heb “it was the living creature.”
- 25 Heb “lifted.”
- 26 Heb “they”; the referent (the cherubim) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 27 Heb “they”; the referent (the wheels) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 28 Heb “they”; the referent (the wheels) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 29 Or “wind.”
- 30 Heb “living creature.”
- 31 Heb “them”; the referent (the wheels) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
