Vision
of God's Glory Departing from the Temple |
|
|
 |
|
Ezekiel 10:1
|
|
Then I looked, and behold, in the expanse that
was over the heads of the cherubim something like a sapphire stone, in appearance
resembling a throne, appeared above them. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 10:2
|
|
And He spoke to the man clothed in linen and
said, "Enter between the whirling wheels under the cherubim and fill your hands
with coals of fire from between the cherubim and scatter them over the city."
And he entered in my sight. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 10:3
|
|
Now the cherubim were standing on the right
side of the temple when the man entered, and the cloud filled the inner court.
|
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 10:4
|
|
Then the glory of the LORD went up from the
cherub to the threshold of the temple, and the temple was filled with the cloud
and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the LORD. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 10:5
|
|
Moreover, the sound of the wings of the cherubim
was heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when He speaks. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 10:6
|
|
It came about when He commanded the man clothed
in linen, saying, "Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the
cherubim," he entered and stood beside a wheel. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 10:7
|
|
Then the cherub stretched out his hand from
between the cherubim to the fire which was between the cherubim, took some and
put it into the hands of the one clothed in linen, who took it and went out. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 10:8
|
|
The cherubim appeared to have the form of a
man's hand under their wings. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 10:9
|
|
Then I looked, and behold, four wheels beside
the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was
like the gleam of a Tarshish stone. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 10:10
|
|
As for their appearance, all four of them had
the same likeness, as if one wheel were within another wheel. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 10:11
|
|
When they moved, they went in any of their four
directions without turning as they went; but they followed in the direction which
they faced, without turning as they went. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 10:12
|
|
Their whole body, their backs, their hands,
their wings and the wheels were full of eyes all around, the wheels belonging
to all four of them. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 10:13
|
|
The wheels were called in my hearing, the whirling
wheels. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 10:14
|
|
And each one had four faces. The first face
was the face of a cherub, the second face was the face of a man, the third the
face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 10:15
|
|
Then the cherubim rose up. They are the living
beings that I saw by the river Chebar. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 10:16
|
|
Now when the cherubim moved, the wheels would
go beside them; also when the cherubim lifted up their wings to rise from the
ground, the wheels would not turn from beside them. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 10:17
|
|
When the cherubim stood still, the wheels would
stand still; and when they rose up, the wheels would rise with them, for the spirit
of the living beings was in them. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 10:18
|
|
Then the glory of the LORD departed from the
threshold of the temple and stood over the cherubim. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 10:19
|
|
When the cherubim departed, they lifted their
wings and rose up from the earth in my sight with the wheels beside them; and
they stood still at the entrance of the east gate of the LORD'S house, and the
glory of the God of Israel hovered over them. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 10:20
|
|
These are the living beings that I saw beneath
the God of Israel by the river Chebar; so I knew that they were cherubim. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 10:21
|
|
Each one had four faces and each one four wings,
and beneath their wings was the form of human hands. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 10:22
|
|
As for the likeness of their faces, they were
the same faces whose appearance I had seen by the river Chebar. Each one went
straight ahead. |
