1 Of the man that toke hote burning coles out of the mid∣dle of the wheles of the Cherubims. 8 A 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of the vision of the wheles, of the beastes and of the Che∣rubims.

1 ANd as I loked, beholde, in the * firmamēt that was aboue the head of the Chetu∣bimsa there appeared vpō thē like vnto the similitude of a throne, as, (it were) a saphir stone.

2 And he spake vnto the man clothed with li∣nen, & said, Go in betwene the wheles, (euē) vnder the Cherub, and fil thine hands with coles of fyre from betwene the Cherubims, and scatter them ouerb the citie. And he wēt in in my sight.

3 Now the Cherubims stode vpon the right side of the house when the man wentin, and the cloude filled the inner court.

4 Then the glorie of the Lordc went vp from the Cherúb, (and stode) ouer the dore of the house, & the house was filled with the cloud and the court was filled with the brightnes of the Lords glorie.

5 And thed sounde of the Cherubims wings was heard into the vtter court, as the voyce of the Almightie God, when he speaketh.

6 And when he had commanded the man clo∣thed with linnen, saying, Take fyre from bet wene the wheles, (&) frō betwene the Che∣rubims, then he went in and stode beside the whele.

7 And one Cherúb stretched forthe his hand from betwene the Cherubims vnto the fyre, that was betwene the Cherubims, and toke

(there of,) and put into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who toke it and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 out.

8 And there appeared in the Cherubims, the likenes of amans hand vnder their wings.

9 And when Iloked vp, beholde foure wheles (were) beside the Cherubims, one whele by one Cherúb, and another wheleby another Cherúb, and the appearance of the wheles (was) as the colour of ae chrysolite stone.

10 And their appearance [(for) they were (all) foure of one facion] was as if one whele had bene in (another) whele.

11 When they went forthe, they went vpon their foure sides, & thei returned not as they went: but to the place whether the first went they went after it, (and) theyf turned not as they went.

12 And their whole body, and their“ rings, & their hands, and their wings, and the wheles were ful of eyes round about, (euen) in the same foure wheles.

13 And (the Cherub) cryed to these wheles in mine hearing, (saying,) O whele.

14 And euery (beast) had foure faces: the first face (was) the face of a cherúb, & the secon∣de face (was) the face of a mā, & the third the face of alion, and the fourth the face of an egle.

15 And the Cherubims were lifted vp: * this is the beast that I sawe at the riuer Chebār.

16 And whē the Cherubims went, the wheles went by them: & when the Cherubims lift vp their wings to mount vp from the earth, the same wheles also turned not from beside thē

17 When the (Cherubims) stode, they stode: & when they were lifted vp, they lifted them selues vp (also:) for theg spirit of the beast (was) in them.

18 h Then the glorie of the Lord departed frō aboue the dore of the House, and stode vpō the Cherubims.

19 And the Cherubims lift vp their wings, and mounted vp frō the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheles also (were) besides thē: & (euerie one) stode at the entrie of the gate of the Lords House at the East side, and the glorie of the God of Israél (was) vpon thē on hie.

20 * This is thei beast that I saw vnder the God of Israél by the riuer Chebār, and I knewe that they were the Cherubims.

21 〈◊〉〈◊〉 one had foure faces, and euerie one foure wings, and the likenes of mans hands (was) vnder their wings.

22 And the likenes of their faces (was) the sel∣fe same faces, which I sawe by the riuer Che bár, (&) the appearance of the (Cherubims was) the selfe same, (and) they went euerie one straight forwarde.
