Eze 1:15-24, 10:2-22, Heb 9:5 | ESV | STEP | Now as I looked at the living creatures , I saw a wheel on the earth beside the living creatures , one for each of the four of them .

15 ^aNow as I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, one for each of the four of them. ^{▼▼Hebrew of their faces} 16 ^cAs for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like ^dthe gleaming of beryl. ^eAnd the four had the same likeness, their appearance and construction being as it were a wheel within a wheel. 17 ^fWhen they went, they went ^gin any of their four directions ^{▼▼Hebrew on their four sides} ⁱwithout turning as they went. 18 And their rims were tall and awesome, ^jand the rims of all four were full of eyes all around. 19 ^kAnd when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; ^land when the living creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose. 20 ^mWherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, and the wheels rose along with them, ⁿfor the spirit of the living creatures ^{▼▼Or the spirit of life; also verse 21} was in the wheels. 21 ^pWhen those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; ^qand when those rose from the earth, the wheels rose along with them, ^rfor the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

22 Over the heads of the living creatures there was ^sthe likeness of an expanse, shining like awe-inspiring ^tcrystal, spread out above their heads. 23 And under the expanse their wings were ^ustretched out straight, one toward another. ^vAnd each creature had two wings covering its body. 24 And when they went, I heard the sound of their wings ^wlike the sound of many waters, like ^xthe sound of the ^yAlmighty, a sound of tumult ^zlike the sound of an army. When they stood still, they let down their wings.

Ezekiel 10:2-22

2 And he said to ^aathe man clothed in linen, “Go in among ^abthe whirling wheels underneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with ^acburning coals from between the cherubim, and ^adscatter them over the city.”

And he went in ^aebefore my eyes. 3 Now the cherubim were standing ^afon the south side of the house, when the man went in, and ^aga cloud filled ^ahthe inner court. 4 And ^aithe glory of the Lord ^ajwent up from the cherub to the threshold of the house, and the house ^akwas filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with ^althe brightness of the glory of the Lord. 5 And ^amthe sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, ^anlike the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.

6 And when he commanded ^aothe man clothed in linen, ^ap“Take fire from between ^aqthe whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” he went in and stood beside a wheel. 7 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. 8 The cherubim appeared to have ^arthe form of a human hand under their wings.

9 ^asAnd I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one beside each cherub, and ^atthe appearance of the wheels was ^aulike sparkling ^avberyl. 10 And as for their appearance, the four had the same likeness, as if a wheel were within a wheel. 11 ^awWhen they went, they went in any of their four directions ^{▼▼Hebrew to their four sides} ^aywithout turning as they went, ^azbut in whatever direction the front wheel ^{▼▼Hebrew the head} faced, the others followed without turning as they went. 12 ^bbAnd their whole body, their rims, and their spokes, their wings, ^{▼▼Or their whole body, their backs, their hands, and their wings} 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 ^bd“the whirling wheels.” 14 ^beAnd every one had four faces: ^bfthe first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was ^bga human face, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

15 ^bhAnd the cherubim mounted up. These were ^bithe living creatures that I saw by ^bjthe Chebar canal. 16 ^bkAnd when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them. And ^blwhen the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels did not turn from beside them. 17 ^bmWhen they stood still, these stood still, and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them, for the spirit of the living creatures ^{▼▼Or spirit of life} was in them.

18 ^boThen ^bpthe glory of the Lord went out from the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim. 19 ^bqAnd the cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth ^brbefore my eyes as they went out, with the wheels beside them. And they stood at the entrance of the ^bseast gate of the house of the Lord, and ^btthe glory of the God of Israel was over them.

20 ^buThese were the living creatures that I saw ^bvunderneath the God of Israel by ^bwthe Chebar canal; and I knew that they were cherubim. 21 ^bxEach had four faces, and each four wings, and underneath their wings ^bythe likeness of human hands. 22 ^bzAnd as for the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces whose appearance I had seen by the Chebar canal. ^caEach one of them went straight forward.

Hebrews 9:5

5 Above it were ^cbthe cherubim of glory overshadowing ^ccthe mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail.
