Ezekiel 10
WEB·Ezekiel 10
1Then I looked, and see, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
KJVThen I lookedH7200(H8799), and, behold, in the firmamentH7549 that was above the headH7218 of the cherubimsH3742 there appearedH7200(H8738) over them as it were a sapphireH5601 stoneH68, as the appearanceH4758 of the likenessH1823 of a throneH3678.
2 He spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, “Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city.” He went in as I watched.
KJVAnd he spakeH559(H8799) unto the manH376 clothedH3847(H8803) with linenH906, and saidH559(H8799), Go inH935(H8798) betweenH996 the wheelsH1534, even under the cherubH3742, and fillH4390(H8761) thine handH2651 with coalsH1513 of fireH784 from betweenH996 the cherubimsH3742, and scatterH2236(H8798) them over the cityH5892. And he went inH935(H8799) in my sightH5869.
3 Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
KJVNow the cherubimsH3742 stoodH5975(H8802) on the right sideH3225 of the houseH1004, when the manH376 went inH935(H8800); and the cloudH6051 filledH4390(H8804) the innerH6442 courtH2691.
4 Yahweh’s glory mounted up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of Yahweh’s glory.
KJVThen the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 went upH7311(H8799) from the cherubH3742, and stood over the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004; and the houseH1004 was filledH4390(H8735) with the cloudH6051, and the courtH2691 was fullH4390(H8804) of the brightnessH5051 of the LORD'SH3068 gloryH3519.
5 The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
KJVAnd the soundH6963 of the cherubimsH3742' wingsH3671 was heardH8085(H8738) even to the outerH2435 courtH2691, as the voiceH6963 of the AlmightyH7706 GodH410 when he speakethH1696(H8763).
6 It came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” that he went in and stood beside a wheel.
KJVAnd it came to pass, that when he had commandedH6680(H8763) the manH376 clothedH3847(H8803) with linenH906, sayingH559(H8800), TakeH3947(H8798) fireH784 from between the wheelsH1534, from between the cherubimsH3742; then he went inH935(H8799), and stoodH5975(H8799) besideH681 the wheelsH212.
7 The 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 him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.
KJVAnd one cherubH3742 stretched forthH7971(H8799) his handH3027 from between the cherubimsH3742 unto the fireH784 that was between the cherubimsH3742, and tookH5375(H8799) thereof, and putH5414(H8799) it into the handsH2651 of him that was clothedH3847(H8803) with linenH906: who tookH3947(H8799) it, and went outH3318(H8799).
8 The form of a man’s hand appeared here in the cherubim under their wings.
KJVAnd there appearedH7200(H8735) in the cherubimsH3742 the formH8403 of a man'sH120 handH3027 under their wingsH3671.
9 I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub. The appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.
KJVAnd when I lookedH7200(H8799), behold the fourH702 wheelsH212 byH681 the cherubimsH3742, oneH259 wheelH212 byH681 oneH259 cherubH3742, and anotherH259 wheelH212 byH681 anotherH259 cherubH3742: and the appearanceH4758 of the wheelsH212 was as the colourH5869 of a berylH8658 stoneH68.
10 As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.
KJVAnd as for their appearancesH4758, they fourH702 had oneH259 likenessH1823, as if a wheelH212 had been in the midstH8432 of a wheelH212.
11 When they went, they went in their four directions. They didn’t turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it. They didn’t turn as they went.
KJVWhen they wentH3212(H8800), they wentH3212(H8800) upon their fourH702 sidesH7253; they turnedH5437(H8735) not as they wentH3212(H8800), but to the placeH4725 whither the headH7218 lookedH6437(H8799) they followedH3212(H8799)H310 it; they turnedH5437(H8735) not as they wentH3212(H8799).
12 Their whole body, including their backs, their hands, their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, even the wheels that the four of them had.
KJVAnd their whole bodyH1320, and their backsH1354, and their handsH3027, and their wingsH3671, and the wheelsH212, were fullH4392 of eyesH5869 round aboutH5439, even the wheelsH212 that they fourH702 had.
13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, “the whirling wheels”.
KJVAs for the wheelsH212, it was criedH7121(H8795) unto them in my hearingH241, O wheelH1534.
14 Every one of them had four faces. The first face was the face of the cherub. The second face was the face of a man. The third face was the face of a lion. The fourth was the face of an eagle.
KJVAnd every oneH259 had fourH702 facesH6440: the firstH259 faceH6440 was the faceH6440 of a cherubH3742, and the secondH8145 faceH6440 was the faceH6440 of a manH120, and the thirdH7992 the faceH6440 of a lionH738, and the fourthH7243 the faceH6440 of an eagleH5404.
15 The cherubim mounted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.
KJVAnd the cherubimsH3742 were lifted upH7426(H8735). This is the living creatureH2416 that I sawH7200(H8804) by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529.
16 When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also didn’t turn from beside them.
KJVAnd when the cherubimsH3742 wentH3212(H8800), the wheelsH212 wentH3212(H8799) by themH681: and when the cherubimsH3742 lifted upH5375(H8800) their wingsH3671 to mount upH7311(H8800) from the earthH776, the same wheelsH212 alsoH1992 turnedH5437(H8735) not from besideH681 them.
17 When they stood, these stood. When they mounted up, these mounted up with them; for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
KJVWhen they stoodH5975(H8800), these stoodH5975(H8799); and when they were lifted upH7311(H8800), these lifted upH7426(H8735) themselves also: for the spiritH7307 of the living creatureH2416 was in them.
18 Yahweh’s glory went out from over the threshold of the house and stood over the cherubim.
KJVThen the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 departedH3318(H8799) from off the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004, and stoodH5975(H8799) over the cherubimsH3742.
19 The cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went out, with the wheels beside them. Then they stood at the door of the east gate of Yahweh’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
KJVAnd the cherubimsH3742 lifted upH5375(H8799) their wingsH3671, and mounted upH7426(H8735) from the earthH776 in my sightH5869: when they went outH3318(H8800), the wheelsH212 also were besideH5980 them, and every one stoodH5975(H8799) at the doorH6607 of the eastH6931 gateH8179 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004; and the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 was over them aboveH4605.
20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.
KJVThis is the living creatureH2416 that I sawH7200(H8804) under the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529; and I knewH3045(H8799) that they were the cherubimsH3742.
21 Every one had four faces, and every one four wings. The likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
KJVEvery oneH259 had fourH702 facesH6440 apieceH259, and every oneH259 fourH702 wingsH3671; and the likenessH1823 of the handsH3027 of a manH120 was under their wingsH3671.
22 As for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves. They each went straight forward.
KJVAnd the likenessH1823 of their facesH6440 was the sameH1992 facesH6440 which I sawH7200(H8804) by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529, their appearancesH4758 and themselves: they wentH3212(H8799) every oneH376 straightH5676 forwardH6440.
