Ezekiel 10:1-3

Lexham English Bible

God’s Presence Leaves the Temple

10 And I looked, and look! On the expanse that was above the head of the cherubim something like a stone of sapphire,^[a] and like the appearance of the shape of a throne it appeared above them. ² And he spoke^[b] to the man clothed in linen and said, “Go in among the wheel area under the cherubim^[c] and fill the hollow of your hands with coals of fire from among the cherubim, and toss them on the city.” And he went right before my eyes. ³ Now^[d] the cherubim were standing on the south of the temple when the man went,^[e] and the cloud filled the inner courtyard.
