18. Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold of the temple and stood over the cherubim.
19. The cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight. When they went out, the wheels were beside them. They stood at the door of the east gate of the house of the Lord; and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
20. These are the living creatures that I saw under the God of Israel by the River Kebar. So I knew that they were cherubim.
21. Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings. And the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
