Ezekiel 10:17

15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This was ^athe living creature I saw by the River Chebar.

16 ^aWhen 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 ^aWhen¹ the cherubim stood still, the wheels stood still, and when² one was lifted up, the other lifted itself up, for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

18 Then ^athe glory of the Lord ^bdeparted from the threshold of the¹ temple and stood over the cherubim.

19 And ^athe 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 ^beast gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.

20 ^aThis is the living creature I saw under the God of Israel ^bby the River Chebar, and I knew they were cherubim.

21 ^aEach one had four faces and each one four wings, and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
