6And it happened, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from between the wheelwork, from between the cherubim,” that he went in and stood beside the wheel.

7Then the cherub stretched out his hand from among the cherubim to the fire that was among the cherubim, and he lifted it up and put it into the palms of the one clothed in linen, who took it and went out.

8And the cherubim appeared to have the form of a human hand under their wings.
