God’s Glory Leaves the Temple
10 Then I looked, and there above the expanse over the heads(A) of the cherubim was something like sapphire[a] stone resembling the shape of a throne that appeared above them. 2 The Lord spoke to the man clothed in linen and said, “Go inside the wheelwork beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with hot coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.”(B) So he went in as I watched.
3 Now the cherubim were standing to the south of the temple when the man went in, and the cloud(C) filled the inner court.(D) 4 Then the glory of the Lord rose from above the cherub to the threshold of the temple.(E) The temple was filled with the cloud,(F) and the court was filled with the brightness of the Lord’s glory.(G) 5 The sound of the cherubim’s wings could be heard as far as the outer court; it was like the voice of God Almighty when He speaks.
6 After the Lord commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from inside the wheelwork, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel. 7 Then the cherub reached out his hand to the fire that was among them. He took some, and put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who took it and went out. 8 The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.(H)
9 I looked, and there were four wheels beside the cherubim,(I) one wheel beside each cherub. The luster of the wheels was like the gleam of beryl.(J) 10 In appearance, all four had the same form, like a wheel within a wheel. 11 When they moved, they would go in any of the four directions,(K) without pivoting as they moved. But wherever the head faced, they would go in that direction,[b] without pivoting as they went. 12 Their entire bodies,(L) including their backs, hands, wings, and the wheels that the four of them had, were full of eyes all around.(M) 13 As I listened the wheels were called “the wheelwork.” 14 Each one had four faces:(N) the first face was that of a cherub, the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.
15 The cherubim ascended; these were the living creatures I had seen by the Chebar Canal.(O) 16 When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them, and when they lifted their wings to rise from the earth, even then the wheels did not veer away from them. 17 When the cherubim stood still,(P) the wheels stood still, and when they ascended, the wheels ascended with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in them.
18 Then the glory of the Lord moved away from the threshold of the temple(Q) and stood above the cherubim.(R) 19 The cherubim lifted their wings and ascended from the earth right before my eyes;(S) the wheels were beside them as they went. The glory of the God of Israel was above them, and it stood at the entrance to the eastern gate of the Lord’s house.
20 These were the living creatures I had seen(T) beneath the God of Israel by the Chebar Canal,(U) and I recognized that they were cherubim. 21 Each had four faces and each had four wings,(V) with the form of human hands under their wings. 22 Their faces looked like the same faces I had seen(W) by the Chebar Canal. Each creature went straight ahead.

Слава Вечного покидает храм
10 Я посмотрел и увидел подобие престола из сапфира над сводом, что над головами херувимов. 2 Вечный сказал человеку, одетому в льняную одежду:
– Войди между колёсами под херувимами. Возьми полные пригоршни горящих углей, которые между херувимами, и брось на город.
Он вошёл, а я смотрел.
3 А херувимы стояли в южной части храма, когда тот человек вошёл, и облако наполняло внутренний двор. 4 Слава Вечного поднялась с херувима и перенеслась к порогу храма. Облако наполнило храм, а двор оказался залит сиянием славы Вечного. 5 Шум от крыльев херувимов был слышен даже на внешнем дворе, словно голос Всемогущего Бога, когда Он говорит.
6 И когда Вечный повелел человеку, одетому в льняную одежду: «Возьми огонь между колёсами, между херувимами», тот человек вошёл и встал у колеса. 7 Тогда один из херувимов протянул руку к огню, который был между херувимами, взял огонь и положил в руки человека, одетого в льняную одежду, который взял его и вышел. 8 (Под крыльями херувима видны были подобия человеческих рук.)
9 Я посмотрел и увидел рядом с херувимами четыре колеса, по одному рядом с каждым из херувимов; колёса искрились, как хризолит. 10 Что до их вида, то все четыре выглядели одинаково, словно колесо в колесе. 11 Двигаясь, они могли направляться в любую из четырёх сторон, куда были обращены херувимы; когда херувимы передвигались, колёса не поворачивались. Херувимы шли в ту сторону, куда была обращена голова, не оборачиваясь на ходу. 12 Все их тела, спины, руки и крылья были повсюду полны глаз, точно так же, как и их четыре колеса. 13 Я слышал, как колёса называли «смерчами». 14 У каждого из херувимов было четыре лица: одно – лицо херувима, другое – лицо человека, третье – лицо льва, а четвёртое – лицо орла.
15 Херувимы поднялись. Это были те самые живые существа, которых я видел у реки Кевара. 16 Когда херувимы двигались, двигались и колёса рядом с ними, а когда херувимы расправляли крылья, чтобы подняться с земли, то и колёса оставались рядом с ними. 17 Когда херувимы останавливались, останавливались и колёса, а когда херувимы поднимались, и они поднимались с ними, потому что дух живых существ был в них.
18 Слава Вечного покинула место над порогом храма и остановилась над херувимами. 19 На моих глазах херувимы расправили крылья и поднялись с земли; когда они двигались, колёса двигались вместе с ними. Они остановились у входа в восточные ворота дома Вечного, и слава Бога Исроила была над ними.
20 Это были живые существа, которых я видел в подножии Бога Исроила у реки Кевара, и я понял, что это были херувимы. 21 У каждого из них было по четыре лица и крыла, а под крыльями у них были подобия человеческих рук. 22 Их лица выглядели так же, как и те, что я видел у реки Кевара. Каждый двигался лицом вперёд.

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