Ezekiel 10:14–21

¹⁴Each of the cherubim^s had four faces:^t One face was that of a cherub, the second the face of a human being, the third the face of a lion,^u and the fourth the face of an eagle.^v

¹⁵Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures^w I had seen by the Kebar River.^{x 16}When the cherubim moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the cherubim spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not leave their side. ¹⁷When the cherubim stood still, they also stood still; and when the cherubim rose, they rose with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in them.^y

¹⁸Then the glory^z of the Lord departed from over the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim.^{a 19}While I watched, the cherubim spread their wings and rose from the ground, and as they went, the wheels went with them.^b They stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory^c of the God of Israel was above them.

²⁰These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the Kebar River,^d and I realized that they were cherubim. ²¹Each had four faces^e and four wings,^f and under their wings was what looked like human hands.
