The Glory Departs from the Temple
1 And I looked, and there in the afirmament 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 aThen He spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said, “Go in among the wheels, under the cherub, fill your hands with bcoals of fire from among the cherubim, and cscatter them over the city.” And he went in as I watched.
3 Now the cherubim were standing on the1 south side of the temple when the man went in, and the acloud filled the inner court.
4 aThen the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub, and paused over the threshold of the1 temple; and bthe house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the Lord’s cglory.
5 And the asound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even in the outer court, like bthe voice of Almighty God when He speaks.
6 Then 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.
