¹⁴ Each of the cherubim^(A) had four faces:^(B) One face was that of a cherub, the second the face of a human being, the third the face of a lion,^(C) and the fourth the face of an eagle.^(D)

¹⁵ Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures^(E) I had seen by the Kebar River.^{(F) 16} When the cherubim moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the cherubim spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not leave their side. ¹⁷ When the cherubim stood still, they also stood still; and when the cherubim rose, they rose with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in them.^(G)

¹⁸ Then the glory^(H) of the Lord departed from over the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim.^{(I) 19} While I watched, the cherubim spread their wings and rose from the ground, and as they went, the wheels went with them.^(J) They stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory^(K) of the God of Israel was above them.

²⁰ These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the Kebar River,^(L) and I realized that they were cherubim. ²¹ Each had four faces^(M) and four wings,^(N) and under their wings was what looked like human hands.
