耶和华的荣耀离开圣城

10 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。 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。 那人进去的时候,基路伯站在殿的南边,云彩充满了内院。 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。 基路伯翅膀的响声传到外院,好像全能 神说话的声音。

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。 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。 在基路伯翅膀以下,显出有人手的样式。

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 神的荣耀。

20 这是我在迦巴鲁河边所见的活物,他们在以色列 神之下;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[a],正是我从前在迦巴鲁河边所看见的。他们各自往前直行。

  1. 10.22 七十士译本没有“以及身体的形像”。

10 Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.

Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

Then the glory of the Lord went 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 the Lord's glory.

And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.

And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.

And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.

And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man's hand under their wings.

And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone.

10 And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.

11 When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.

12 And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.

13 As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.

14 And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

15 And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.

16 And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.

17 When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

18 Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.

19 And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the Lord's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.

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

22 And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.

The Glory of the Lord Leaves the Temple

10 Then I looked, and behold, (A)on the expanse that was over the heads of the cherubim there appeared above them something (B)like a sapphire,[a] in appearance like a throne. And he said to (C)the man clothed in linen, “Go in among (D)the whirling wheels underneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with (E)burning coals from between the cherubim, and (F)scatter them over the city.”

And he went in (G)before my eyes. Now the cherubim were standing (H)on the south side of the house, when the man went in, and (I)a cloud filled (J)the inner court. And (K)the glory of the Lord (L)went up from the cherub to the threshold of the house, and the house (M)was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with (N)the brightness of the glory of the Lord. And (O)the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, (P)like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.

And when he commanded (Q)the man clothed in linen, (R)“Take fire from between (S)the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” he went in and stood beside a wheel. And a 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 the man clothed in linen, who took it and went out. The cherubim appeared to have (T)the form of a human hand under their wings.

(U)And I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one beside each cherub, and (V)the appearance of the wheels was (W)like sparkling (X)beryl. 10 And as for their appearance, the four had the same likeness, as if a wheel were within a wheel. 11 (Y)When they went, they went in any of their four directions[b] (Z)without turning as they went, (AA)but in whatever direction the front wheel[c] faced, the others followed without turning as they went. 12 (AB)And their whole body, their rims, and their spokes, their wings,[d] and the wheels were full of eyes all around—the wheels that the four of them had. 13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing (AC)“the whirling wheels.” 14 (AD)And every one had four faces: (AE)the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was (AF)a human face, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

15 (AG)And the cherubim mounted up. These were (AH)the living creatures that I saw by (AI)the Chebar canal. 16 (AJ)And when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them. And (AK)when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels did not turn from beside them. 17 (AL)When they stood still, these stood still, and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them, for the spirit of the living creatures[e] was in them.

18 (AM)Then (AN)the glory of the Lord went out from the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim. 19 (AO)And the cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth (AP)before my eyes as they went out, with the wheels beside them. And they stood at the entrance of the (AQ)east gate of the house of the Lord, and (AR)the glory of the God of Israel was over them.

20 (AS)These were the living creatures that I saw (AT)underneath the God of Israel by (AU)the Chebar canal; and I knew that they were cherubim. 21 (AV)Each had four faces, and each four wings, and underneath their wings (AW)the likeness of human hands. 22 (AX)And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces whose appearance I had seen by the Chebar canal. (AY)Each one of them went straight forward.
