Ezekiel 10:14–22

14 pEach one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, the second face the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. 15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This was qthe living creature I saw by the River Chebar. 16 rWhen the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also did not turn from beside them. 17 sWhen 6the cherubim stood still, the wheels stood still, and when 7one was lifted up, 8the other lifted itself up, for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

18 Then tthe glory of the Lord udeparted from the threshold of the 9temple and stood over the cherubim. 19 And vthe cherubim lifted their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight. When they went out, the wheels were beside them; and they stood at the door of the weast gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.

20 xThis is the living creature I saw under the God of Israel yby the River Chebar, and I knew they were cherubim. 21 zEach one had four faces and each one four wings, and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings. 22 And athe likeness of their faces was the same as the faces which I had seen by the River Chebar, their appearance and their persons. bThey each went straight forward.
