The Glory Departs from the Temple
1And I looked, and there in the ⚓firmament that was above the head of the cherubim, there appeared something like a sapphire stone, having the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
2⚓Then He spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said, “Go in among the wheels, under the cherub, fill your hands with ⚓coals of fire from among the cherubim, and ⚓scatter them over the city.” And he went in as I watched.
3Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in, and the ⚓cloud filled the inner court.
4⚓Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub, and paused over the threshold of the temple; and ⚓the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the Lord’s ⚓glory.
5And the ⚓sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even in the outer court, like ⚓the voice of Almighty God when He speaks.
6Then it happened, when He commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from among the wheels, from among the cherubim,” that he went in and stood beside the wheels.
7And the cherub stretched out his hand from among the cherubim to the fire that was among the cherubim, and took some of it and put it into the hands of the man clothed with linen, who took it and went out.
8⚓The cherubim appeared to have the form of a man’s hand under their wings.
9⚓And when I looked, there were four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub and another wheel by each other cherub; the wheels appeared to have the color of a ⚓beryl stone.
10As for their appearance, all four looked alike—as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
11⚓When they went, they went toward any of their four directions; they did not turn aside when they went, but followed in the direction the head was facing. They did not turn aside when they went.
12And their whole body, with their back, their hands, their wings, and the wheels that the four had, were⚓full of eyes all around.
13As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, “Wheel.”
14⚓Each one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, the second face the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15And the cherubim were lifted up. This was⚓the living creature I saw by the River Chebar.
16⚓When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also did not turn from beside them.
17⚓When the cherubim stood still, the wheels stood still, and when one was lifted up, the other lifted itself up, for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
18Then ⚓the glory of the Lord⚓departed from the threshold of the temple and stood over the cherubim.
19And ⚓the cherubim lifted their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight. When they went out, the wheels were beside them; and they stood at the door of the ⚓east gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
20⚓This is the living creature I saw under the God of Israel ⚓by the River Chebar, and I knew they were cherubim.
21⚓Each one had four faces and each one four wings, and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
22And ⚓the likeness of their faces was the same as the faces which I had seen by the River Chebar, their appearance and their persons. ⚓They each went straight forward.

耶和华的荣耀离开圣城
1我观看，看哪，在穹苍之中，也就是基路伯的头上，有蓝宝石的形状，仿佛宝座的形像显在他们上面。
2耶和华对那身穿细麻衣的人说：“你进到基路伯下面旋转的轮子中，从基路伯之间取出火炭装满两手掌，撒在城上。”
我亲眼看见他进去。
3那人进去的时候，基路伯站在殿的南边，云彩充满了内院。
4耶和华的荣耀从基路伯那里上升，到殿的入口处；殿内满布云彩，院子也充满了耶和华荣耀的光辉。
5基路伯翅膀的响声传到外院，好像全能上帝说话的声音。
6耶和华吩咐那身穿细麻衣的人说：“要从基路伯之间旋转的轮子中取火。”那人就进去站在一个轮子旁边。
7基路伯中的一个基路伯伸手到基路伯中间的火那里，取一些放在那身穿细麻衣人的手掌中，那人拿了就出去。
8在基路伯翅膀以下，显出有人手的样式。
9我又观看，看哪，这些基路伯的旁边有四个轮子。一个基路伯旁有一个轮子，另一个基路伯旁也有一个轮子；轮子的形状好像水苍玉石。
10至于四轮的形状，都是一个样式，好像轮中套轮。
11轮子行走的时候，向四方都能直行，行走时并不转弯。头转向何方，它们也随着向何方行走，行走时并不转弯。
12基路伯的全身，连背带手和翅膀，并轮子周围都布满眼睛。他们四个的轮子都是如此。
13我耳中听见这些轮子称为“旋转的轮”。
14基路伯各有四张脸：第一是基路伯的脸，第二是人的脸，第三是狮子的脸，第四是鹰的脸。
15基路伯升上去了；这就是我在迦巴鲁河边所看见的活物。
16基路伯行走，轮子也在旁边行走。基路伯展开翅膀，离地上升，轮子也不转离他们的旁边。
17基路伯站住，轮子也站住；基路伯上升，轮子也跟着上升，因为活物的灵在轮中。
18耶和华的荣耀离开殿的入口处，停在基路伯之上。
19基路伯展开翅膀，在我眼前离地上升；他们离去的时候，轮子在旁边，都停在耶和华殿的东门口。在他们上面有以色列上帝的荣耀。
20这是我在迦巴鲁河边所见的活物，他们在以色列上帝之下；因此我知道他们是基路伯。
21他们各有四张脸、四个翅膀，翅膀以下有人手的样式。
22至于他们脸的模样，以及身体的形像⚓，正是我从前在迦巴鲁河边所看见的。他们各自往前直行。
