18Then the glory of Yahweh went out from above the threshold of the house and stood over the cherubim.

19Then the cherubim lifted up their wings and rose from the earth before my eyes as they went out, with the wheels beside them; and it stood at the entrance of the eastern gate of the house of Yahweh, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them, from above.

20This was the living creature that I saw beneath the God of Israel by the Kebar Canal, and I knew that they were cherubim.

21Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings, and the likeness of human hands was under their wings.

22And the likeness of their faces was the same as the faces that I had seen by the Kebar River—their appearances and themselves. Each one went straight ahead.
