KJ3 Literal Translation
Ezekiel 10
The vision of the coals of fire, to be scattered over the city. The vision of the cherubs.
1And I looked. And, behold, in the expanse over the head of the cherubs was seen the appearance of the form of a throne above them, like a stone of lapis lazuli, azure blue.
2And He spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in among the wheels, under the cherub, and fill your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubs, and sprinkle on the city. And he went in before me.
3And the cherubs were standing on the right side of the house when he, the man, went in. And the cloud filled the inner court.
4And the glory of Jehovah lifted up from the cherub, over the threshold of the house. And the house was filled with the cloud. And the court was filled with the radiance of the glory of Jehovah.
5And the sound of the wings of cherubs was heard over the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when He speaks.
6And it happened, when He had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubs; and he went and stood beside the wheels.
7And one cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubs, to the fire between the cherubs. And he lifted and put it into the hands of the one clothed with linen. And he took it and went out.
8And the form of a man's hand was seen under the wings of the cherubs.
9And I looked, and, behold, the four wheels were beside the cherubs: one wheel beside one cherub, one wheel beside one cherub. And the appearance of the wheels was like the color of a stone of Tarshish.
10And their appearance was as one, the four of them, as if the wheel were in the midst of the wheel.
11In their going on their four sides, they went. They did not turn in their going. For to the place where the head faces, after it they went. They did not turn in their going.
12And all their flesh, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even their wheels which the four of them had.
13As for the wheels, it was cried to them in my ear, Whirling wheel!
14And four faces were to each one. The first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15And the cherubs rose up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.
16And in the going of the cherubs, the wheels went beside them. And when the cherubs lifted their wings to soar from the earth, the wheels did not turn from beside them, even they.
17When they stood still, these stood still. And when they rose up, these lifted up; for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
18And the glory of Jehovah went from the threshold of the house and stood over the cherubs.
19And the cherubs lifted their wings and rose up from the earth flowing out. When they went out, the wheels also were with them. And he stood at the door of the gate of the house of Jehovah, the eastern gate. And the glory of the God of Israel was over them from above.
20This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar, and I knew that they were cherubs.
21Four, even four faces are to each one, and four wings to each one. And the form of a man's hands was under their wings.
22And the form of their faces, they are the faces that I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances, even theirs. They each one went straight forward.
