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 looked^H7200^(H8799), and, behold, in the firmament^H7549 that was above the head^H7218 of the cherubims^H3742 there appeared^H7200^(H8738) over them as it were a sapphire^H5601 stone^H68, as the appearance^H4758 of the likeness^H1823 of a throne^H3678.

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 spake^H559^(H8799) unto the man^H376 clothed^H3847^(H8803) with linen^H906, and said^H559^(H8799), Go in^H935^(H8798) between^H996 the wheels^H1534, even under the cherub^H3742, and fill^H4390^(H8761) thine hand^H2651 with coals^H1513 of fire^H784 from between^H996 the cherubims^H3742, and scatter^H2236^(H8798) them over the city^H5892. And he went in^H935^(H8799) in my sight^H5869.

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 cherubims^H3742 stood^H5975^(H8802) on the right side^H3225 of the house^H1004, when the man^H376 went in^H935^(H8800); and the cloud^H6051 filled^H4390^(H8804) the inner^H6442 court^H2691.

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 glory^H3519 of the LORD^H3068 went up^H7311^(H8799) from the cherub^H3742, and stood over the threshold^H4670 of the house^H1004; and the house^H1004 was filled^H4390^(H8735) with the cloud^H6051, and the court^H2691 was full^H4390^(H8804) of the brightness^H5051 of the LORD'S^H3068 glory^H3519.

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 sound^H6963 of the cherubims^H3742' wings^H3671 was heard^H8085^(H8738) even to the outer^H2435 court^H2691, as the voice^H6963 of the Almighty^H7706 God^H410 when he speaketh^H1696^(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 commanded^H6680^(H8763) the man^H376 clothed^H3847^(H8803) with linen^H906, saying^H559^(H8800), Take^H3947^(H8798) fire^H784 from between the wheels^H1534, from between the cherubims^H3742; then he went in^H935^(H8799), and stood^H5975^(H8799) beside^H681 the wheels^H212.

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 cherub^H3742 stretched forth^H7971^(H8799) his hand^H3027 from between the cherubims^H3742 unto the fire^H784 that was between the cherubims^H3742, and took^H5375^(H8799) thereof, and put^H5414^(H8799) it into the hands^H2651 of him that was clothed^H3847^(H8803) with linen^H906: who took^H3947^(H8799) it, and went out^H3318^(H8799).

⁸ The form of a man’s hand appeared here in the cherubim under their wings.

KJVAnd there appeared^H7200^(H8735) in the cherubims^H3742 the form^H8403 of a man's^H120 hand^H3027 under their wings^H3671.

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 looked^H7200^(H8799), behold the four^H702 wheels^H212 by^H681 the cherubims^H3742, one^H259 wheel^H212 by^H681 one^H259 cherub^H3742, and another^H259 wheel^H212 by^H681 another^H259 cherub^H3742: and the appearance^H4758 of the wheels^H212 was as the colour^H5869 of a beryl^H8658 stone^H68.

¹⁰ As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.

KJVAnd as for their appearances^H4758, they four^H702 had one^H259 likeness^H1823, as if a wheel^H212 had been in the midst^H8432 of a wheel^H212.

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 went^H3212^(H8800), they went^H3212^(H8800) upon their four^H702 sides^H7253; they turned^H5437^(H8735) not as they went^H3212^(H8800), but to the place^H4725 whither the head^H7218 looked^H6437^(H8799) they followed^H3212^(H8799)^H310 it; they turned^H5437^(H8735) not as they went^H3212^(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 body^H1320, and their backs^H1354, and their hands^H3027, and their wings^H3671, and the wheels^H212, were full^H4392 of eyes^H5869 round about^H5439, even the wheels^H212 that they four^H702 had.

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

KJVAs for the wheels^H212, it was cried^H7121^(H8795) unto them in my hearing^H241, O wheel^H1534.

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 one^H259 had four^H702 faces^H6440: the first^H259 face^H6440 was the face^H6440 of a cherub^H3742, and the second^H8145 face^H6440 was the face^H6440 of a man^H120, and the third^H7992 the face^H6440 of a lion^H738, and the fourth^H7243 the face^H6440 of an eagle^H5404.

¹⁵ The cherubim mounted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.

KJVAnd the cherubims^H3742 were lifted up^H7426^(H8735). This is the living creature^H2416 that I saw^H7200^(H8804) by the river^H5104 of Chebar^H3529.

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 cherubims^H3742 went^H3212^(H8800), the wheels^H212 went^H3212^(H8799) by them^H681: and when the cherubims^H3742 lifted up^H5375^(H8800) their wings^H3671 to mount up^H7311^(H8800) from the earth^H776, the same wheels^H212 also^H1992 turned^H5437^(H8735) not from beside^H681 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 stood^H5975^(H8800), these stood^H5975^(H8799); and when they were lifted up^H7311^(H8800), these lifted up^H7426^(H8735) themselves also: for the spirit^H7307 of the living creature^H2416 was in them.

¹⁸ Yahweh’s glory went out from over the threshold of the house and stood over the cherubim.

KJVThen the glory^H3519 of the LORD^H3068 departed^H3318^(H8799) from off the threshold^H4670 of the house^H1004, and stood^H5975^(H8799) over the cherubims^H3742.

KJVAnd the cherubims^H3742 lifted up^H5375^(H8799) their wings^H3671, and mounted up^H7426^(H8735) from the earth^H776 in my sight^H5869: when they went out^H3318^(H8800), the wheels^H212 also were beside^H5980 them, and every one stood^H5975^(H8799) at the door^H6607 of the east^H6931 gate^H8179 of the LORD'S^H3068 house^H1004; and the glory^H3519 of the God^H430 of Israel^H3478 was over them above^H4605.

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 creature^H2416 that I saw^H7200^(H8804) under the God^H430 of Israel^H3478 by the river^H5104 of Chebar^H3529; and I knew^H3045^(H8799) that they were the cherubims^H3742.

²¹ Every one had four faces, and every one four wings. The likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

KJVEvery one^H259 had four^H702 faces^H6440 apiece^H259, and every one^H259 four^H702 wings^H3671; and the likeness^H1823 of the hands^H3027 of a man^H120 was under their wings^H3671.

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 likeness^H1823 of their faces^H6440 was the same^H1992 faces^H6440 which I saw^H7200^(H8804) by the river^H5104 of Chebar^H3529, their appearances^H4758 and themselves: they went^H3212^(H8799) every one^H376 straight^H5676 forward^H6440.

² Behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lies toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand. One man in the middle of them was clothed in linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side. They went in, and stood beside the bronze altar.

⁴ Yahweh said to him, “Go through the middle of the city, through the middle of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done within it.”

KJVAnd the LORD^H3068 said^H559^(H8799) unto him, Go through^H5674^(H8798) the midst^H8432 of the city^H5892, through the midst^H8432 of Jerusalem^H3389, and set^H8427^(H8689) a mark^H8420 upon the foreheads^H4696 of the men^H582 that sigh^H584^(H8737) and that cry^H602^(H8737) for all the abominations^H8441 that be done^H6213^(H8737) in the midst^H8432 thereof.

⁵ To the others he said in my hearing, “Go through the city after him, and strike. Don’t let your eye spare, neither have pity.

KJVAnd to the others^H428 he said^H559^(H8804) in mine hearing^H241, Go^H5674^(H8798) ye after^H310 him through the city^H5892, and smite^H5221^(H8685): let not your eye^H5869 spare^H2347^(H8799), neither have ye pity^H2550^(H8799):

⁶ Kill utterly the old man, the young man, the virgin, little children and women; but don’t come near any man on whom is the mark. Begin at my sanctuary.” Then they began at the old men who were before the house.

KJVSlay^H2026^(H8799) utterly^H4889 old^H2205 and young^H970, both maids^H1330, and little children^H2945, and women^H802: but come not near^H5066^(H8799) any man^H376 upon whom is the mark^H8420; and begin^H2490^(H8686) at my sanctuary^H4720. Then they began^H2490^(H8686) at the ancient^H2205 men^H582 which were before^H6440 the house^H1004.

⁷ He said to them, “Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!” They went out, and struck in the city.

⁸ While they were killing, and I was left, I fell on my face, and cried, and said, “Ah Lord Yahweh! Will you destroy all the residue of Israel in your pouring out of your wrath on Jerusalem?”

KJVAnd it came to pass, while they were slaying^H5221^(H8687) them, and I was left^H7604^(H8737), that I fell^H5307^(H8799) upon my face^H6440, and cried^H2199^(H8799), and said^H559^(H8799), Ah^H162 Lord^H136 GOD^H3069! wilt thou destroy^H7843^(H8688) all the residue^H7611 of Israel^H3478 in thy pouring out^H8210^(H8800) of thy fury^H2534 upon Jerusalem^H3389?

⁹ Then he said to me, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perversion; for they say, ‘Yahweh has forsaken the land, and Yahweh doesn’t see.’

KJVThen said^H559^(H8799) he unto me, The iniquity^H5771 of the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 and Judah^H3063 is exceeding^H3966^H3966 great^H1419, and the land^H776 is full^H4390^(H8735) of blood^H1818, and the city^H5892 full^H4390^(H8804) of perverseness^H4297: for they say^H559^(H8804), The LORD^H3068 hath forsaken^H5800^(H8804) the earth^H776, and the LORD^H3068 seeth^H7200^(H8802) not.

¹⁰ As for me also, my eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way on their head.”

KJVAnd as for me also, mine eye^H5869 shall not spare^H2347^(H8799), neither will I have pity^H2550^(H8799), but I will recompense^H5414^(H8804) their way^H1870 upon their head^H7218.
