New Testament

Ezekiel 10:5-14 English Standard Version (ESV)

5. And 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.

6. And when he commanded the man clothed in linen, “Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” he went in and stood beside a wheel.

7. And a cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took some of it and put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who took it and went out.

8. The cherubim appeared to have the form of a human hand under their wings.

9. And I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one beside each cherub, and the appearance of the wheels was like sparkling beryl.

10. And as for their appearance, the four had the same likeness, as if a wheel were within a wheel.

11. When they went, they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went, but in whatever direction the front wheel faced, the others followed without turning as they went.

12. And their whole body, their rims, and their spokes, their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes all around—the wheels that the four of them had.

13. As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing “the whirling wheels.”

14. And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was a human face, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
