Yechezkel 10
Orthodox Jewish Bible
10 Then I looked, and, hinei, above the raki’a that was over the rosh of the Keruvim there appeared over them something like a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the demut (likeness) of a kisse (throne).
2 And He spoke unto the ish clothed with linen, and said, Come in between the galgal (wheelwork), even under the Keruv, and fill thine yad with coals of eish from among the Keruvim, and scatter them over the Ir. And He went in in my sight.
3 Now the Keruvim stood on the right [south] side of the Beis [Hamikdash], when the ish went in; and the anan (cloud) filled the khatzer hapenimit (innermost courtyard, 1Kgs 8:10).
4 Then the Kavod Hashem went up from the Keruv, and stood over the threshold of the Beis; and the Beis was filled with the anan (cloud), and the khatzer (courtyard) was full of the radiance of the Kavod Hashem.
5 And the sound of the wings of the Keruvim was heard even as far as the khatzer hakhitzonah (the outer court), like the voice of El Shaddai when He speaketh.
6 And it came to pass, that when He had commanded the ish clothed with linen, saying, Take eish from between the Galgal (Wheelwork), from between the Keruvim; then he went in, and stood beside the Ofan (Wheel).
7 And one Keruv stretched forth his yad from between the Keruvim unto the eish that was between the Keruvim, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.
8 And Keruvim appeared to have the tavnit (form) of a yad adam under their kenafayim (wings).
9 And when I looked, hinei, the four Ofanim (wheels) by the Keruvim, one Ofan beside one Keruv, and another Ofan beside another Keruv: and the appearance of the Ofanim was like the color of tarshish even (stone).
10 And as for their appearance, there was one demut (likeness) for the four of them, like that it was the Ofan within the Ofan.
11 When they went, they went toward their four sides; they did not turn aside as they went, but to the makom (place) where the rosh looked they followed it; they did not turn aside as they went.
12 And their whole basar, and their backs, and their hands, and their kenafayim (wings), and the Ofanim, were full of eynayim all around, even the Ofanim that they four had.
13 As for the Ofanim, they were called in my hearing, The Galgal!
14 And every one had four panim (faces): the first face was the face of a Keruv, and the second face was the face of an Adam, and the third face of an Aryeh, and the fourth the face of a Nesher.
15 And the Keruvim were lifted up. This is the Chayah (Living Creature) that I saw by the Kevar River.
16 And when the Keruvim went, the Ofanim went beside them: and when the Keruvim lifted up their kenafayim (wings) to mount up from ha’aretz, the Ofanim turned not away from beside them.
17 When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the Ruach of the Chayah was in them.
18 Then the Kavod Hashem departed from off the threshold of the Beis, and stood over the Keruvim.
19 And the Keruvim lifted up their kenafayim (wings), and mounted up from ha’aretz before my eyes: when they went out, the Ofanim also were beside them, and every one stood at the petach sha’ar Beis Hashem hakadmoni (eastern gate of the Beis HaMikdash of Hashem); and the Kavod Elohei Yisroel was over them from above.
20 This is the Chayah that I saw under Elohei Yisroel by the Kevar River; and I knew that they were the Keruvim.
21 Every one had four panim (faces) each, and every one four kenafayim (wings); and the demut (likeness) of the yedei adam (human hand) was under their kenafayim (wings).
22 And the demut (likeness) of their panim (faces) was the same panim which I saw by the Kevar River, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
Ezekiel 10
King James Version
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.
2 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.
3 Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
4 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.
5 And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.
6 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.
7 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.
8 And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man's hand under their wings.
9 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.
Ezequiel 10
O Livro
A glória afasta-se do templo
10 De repente, um trono de um lindíssimo azul de safira apareceu no firmamento, acima das cabeças dos querubins. 2 O Senhor dirigiu-se ao que trajava de linho: “Vai por entre as rodas, sob os querubins, pega num punhado de brasas acesas e espalha-as sobre a cidade.” Ele assim fez, enquanto eu olhava.
3 Os querubins encontravam-se no extremo sul do templo, quando o homem entrou, e a nuvem de glória encheu o pátio interior. 4 Depois a glória do Senhor ergueu-se sobre os querubins e encaminhou-se para a porta do templo, o qual se encheu com a nuvem de glória, e todo o pátio ficou repleto com o resplendor da glória do Senhor. 5 O som das asas dos querubins era a voz do Deus Todo-Poderoso, quando fala, e podia ouvir-se nitidamente no átrio exterior.
6 Quando o Senhor disse ao homem vestido de linho para avançar por entre os querubins e pegar nas brasas acesas entre as rodas, o homem foi e ficou ao lado de uma das rodas. 7 Um dos querubins estendeu a mão, pegou em algumas das brasas das chamas entre os querubins e pô-las nas mãos do homem de linho, que se afastou depois. 8 Vi que cada querubim tinha, sob as asas, algo semelhante a mãos humanas.
9 Olhei e vi que cada um dos quatro querubins tinha uma roda junto de si e que as rodas brilhavam como topázios. 10 Quanto ao seu aspeto, as quatro tinham a mesma aparência, como se uma roda estivesse perfeitamente entrosada na outra. 11 Devido à construção dessas rodas, os querubins podiam andar sempre direitos, para a frente, para trás e para ambos os lados; não se viravam quando mudavam de direção. 12 Cada conjunto de rodas estava coberto de olhos, incluindo os raios e os aros que as revestiam. 13 Quanto às rodas, ouvi chamá-las de giratórias. 14 Cada um dos quatro querubins tinham quatro faces; o primeiro, como a de um boi; o segundo, de um ser humano; o terceiro, de um leão; o quarto, de uma águia.
15 Então os querubins se elevaram. Eram os mesmos seres que eu vira junto ao rio Quebar. 16 Quando os querubins se moviam, as rodas também se erguiam e ficavam ao lado deles quando se deslocavam. 17 Quando os querubins paravam, as rodas também paravam, porque o espírito dos querubins estava igualmente nas rodas.
18 A glória do Senhor moveu-se desde a porta do templo e ficou por cima dos querubins. 19 Enquanto eu olhava, os querubins foram, com as rodas junto a si, para a porta oriental do templo. A glória do Deus de Israel continuava sobre eles.
20 Estes seres vivos eram os que eu vira debaixo do Deus de Israel junto ao rio Quebar. Verifiquei que eram os mesmos, 21 porque cada um tinha quatro rostos e quatro asas, e aquilo que pareciam mãos, sob as asas. 22 Também as faces eram idênticas às que vira no rio e voavam sem se virarem, tal como os outros.
