So David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces. 17 And David said to God, “Was it not I who commanded the people to be numbered? I am the one who has sinned and done evil indeed; but these (B)sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, O Lord my God, be against me and my father’s house, but not against Your people that they should be plagued.”

17 David said to God, “Was it not I who ordered the fighting men to be counted? I, the shepherd,[a] have sinned and done wrong. These are but sheep.(B) What have they done? Lord my God, let your hand fall on me and my family,(C) but do not let this plague remain on your people.”

Ezekiel 10:2-22
New King James Version
2 (A)Then He spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said, “Go in among the wheels, under the cherub, fill your hands with (B)coals of fire from among the cherubim, and (C)scatter them over the city.” And he went in as I watched.
3 Now the cherubim were standing on the [a]south side of the [b]temple when the man went in, and the (D)cloud filled the inner court. 4 (E)Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub, and paused over the threshold of the [c]temple; and (F)the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the Lord’s (G)glory. 5 And the (H)sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even in the outer court, like (I)the 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. 7 And 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 (J)The cherubim appeared to have the form of a man’s hand under their wings.
9 (K)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 (L)beryl stone. 10 As for their appearance, all four looked alike—as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 11 (M)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. 12 And their whole body, with their back, their hands, their wings, and the wheels that the four had, were (N)full of eyes all around. 13 As for the wheels, they were called in my [d]hearing, “Wheel.”
14 (O)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. 15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This was (P)the living creature I saw by the River Chebar. 16 (Q)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 (R)When [e]the cherubim stood still, the wheels stood still, and when [f]one was lifted up, [g]the other lifted itself up, for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
18 Then (S)the glory of the Lord (T)departed from the threshold of the [h]temple and stood over the cherubim. 19 And (U)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 (V)east gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
20 (W)This is the living creature I saw under the God of Israel (X)by the River Chebar, and I knew they were cherubim. 21 (Y)Each one had four faces and each one four wings, and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings. 22 And (Z)the likeness of their faces was the same as the faces which I had seen by the River Chebar, their appearance and their persons. (AA)They each went straight forward.

Ezekiel 10:2-22
New International Version
2 The Lord said to the man clothed in linen,(A) “Go in among the wheels(B) beneath the cherubim. Fill(C) your hands with burning coals(D) from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” And as I watched, he went in.
3 Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court. 4 Then the glory of the Lord(E) rose from above the cherubim and moved to the threshold of the temple. The cloud filled the temple, and the court was full of the radiance of the glory of the Lord. 5 The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far away as the outer court, like the voice(F) of God Almighty[a] when he speaks.(G)
6 When the Lord commanded the man in linen, “Take fire from among the wheels,(H) from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel. 7 Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand to the fire(I) that was among them. He took up some of it and put it into the hands of the man in linen, who took it and went out. 8 (Under the wings of the cherubim could be seen what looked like human hands.)(J)
9 I looked, and I saw beside the cherubim four wheels, one beside each of the cherubim; the wheels sparkled like topaz.(K) 10 As for their appearance, the four of them looked alike; each was like a wheel intersecting a wheel. 11 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the cherubim faced; the wheels did not turn about[b] as the cherubim went. The cherubim went in whatever direction the head faced, without turning as they went. 12 Their entire bodies, including their backs, their hands and their wings, were completely full of eyes,(L) as were their four wheels.(M) 13 I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels.” 14 Each of the cherubim(N) had four faces:(O) One face was that of a cherub, the second the face of a human being, the third the face of a lion,(P) and the fourth the face of an eagle.(Q)
15 Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures(R) I had seen by the Kebar River.(S) 16 When the cherubim moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the cherubim spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not leave their side. 17 When the cherubim stood still, they also stood still; and when the cherubim rose, they rose with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in them.(T)
18 Then the glory(U) of the Lord departed from over the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim.(V) 19 While I watched, the cherubim spread their wings and rose from the ground, and as they went, the wheels went with them.(W) They stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory(X) of the God of Israel was above them.
20 These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the Kebar River,(Y) and I realized that they were cherubim. 21 Each had four faces(Z) and four wings,(AA) and under their wings was what looked like human hands. 22 Their faces had the same appearance as those I had seen by the Kebar River.(AB) Each one went straight ahead.

25 And the other cherub was ten cubits; both cherubim were of the same size and shape. 26 The height of one cherub was ten cubits, and so was the other cherub. 27 Then he set the cherubim inside the inner [a]room; and (A)they stretched out the wings of the cherubim so that the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall. And their wings touched each other in the middle of the room. 28 Also he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 Then he carved all the walls of the temple all around, both the inner and outer sanctuaries, with carved (B)figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. 30 And the floor of the temple he overlaid with gold, both the inner and outer sanctuaries.
31 For the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood; the lintel and doorposts were [b]one-fifth of the wall. 32 The two doors were of olive wood; and he carved on them figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees. 33 So for the door of the [c]sanctuary he also made doorposts of olive wood, [d]one-fourth of the wall. 34 And the two doors were of cypress wood; (C)two panels comprised one folding door, and two panels comprised the other folding door. 35 Then he carved cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers on them, and overlaid them with gold applied evenly on the carved work.

The wing of one cherub touched one wall, while the wing of the other touched the other wall, and their wings touched each other in the middle of the room. 28 He overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 On the walls(B) all around the temple, in both the inner and outer rooms, he carved cherubim,(C) palm trees and open flowers. 30 He also covered the floors of both the inner and outer rooms of the temple with gold.
31 For the entrance to the inner sanctuary he made doors out of olive wood that were one fifth of the width of the sanctuary. 32 And on the two olive-wood doors(D) he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid the cherubim and palm trees with hammered gold. 33 In the same way, for the entrance to the main hall he made doorframes out of olive wood that were one fourth of the width of the hall. 34 He also made two doors out of juniper wood, each having two leaves that turned in sockets. 35 He carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers on them and overlaid them with gold hammered evenly over the carvings.
