^16 (A)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 (B)When ^[a]the cherubim stood still, the wheels stood still, and when ^[b]one was lifted up, ^[c]the other lifted itself up, for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

¹⁸ Then ^(C)the glory of the Lord ^(D)departed from the threshold of the ^[d]temple and stood over the cherubim. ¹⁹ And ^(E)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 ^(F)east gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
