1Then I looked, and behold, on the expanse that was over the heads of the cherubim there appeared above them something like a sapphire,[1] in appearance like a throne. (Eze 1:22; Eze 1:26)2And he said to the man clothed in linen, “Go in among the whirling wheels underneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city.” And he went in before my eyes. (Eze 1:13; Eze 9:2; Eze 10:6; Eze 10:13; Eze 10:19; Re 8:5)3Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the house, when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court. (1Ki 8:10; Eze 8:16; Lu 1:11)4And the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub to the threshold of the house, and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the Lord. (Eze 1:28; Eze 10:3; Eze 10:18; Eze 43:2)5And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks. (Eze 1:24)6And when he commanded the man clothed in linen, “Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” he went in and stood beside a wheel. (Eze 9:2; Eze 10:2)7And a cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took some of it and put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who took it and went out.8The cherubim appeared to have the form of a human hand under their wings. (Eze 1:8; Eze 8:3; Eze 10:21)9And I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one beside each cherub, and the appearance of the wheels was like sparkling beryl. (Eze 1:4; Eze 1:15; Eze 1:16; Da 10:6)10And as for their appearance, the four had the same likeness, as if a wheel were within a wheel.11When they went, they went in any of their four directions[2] without turning as they went, but in whatever direction the front wheel[3] faced, the others followed without turning as they went. (Eze 1:9; Eze 1:17; Eze 10:22)12And their whole body, their rims, and their spokes, their wings,[4] and the wheels were full of eyes all around—the wheels that the four of them had. (Eze 1:18)13As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing “the whirling wheels.” (Eze 10:6)14And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was a human face, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. (Eze 1:5; Eze 1:6; Eze 1:10; Eze 41:19)15And the cherubim mounted up. These were the living creatures that I saw by the Chebar canal. (Eze 1:1; Eze 1:5; Eze 10:17; Eze 10:19)16And when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them. And when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels did not turn from beside them. (Eze 1:19)17When they stood still, these stood still, and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them, for the spirit of the living creatures[5] was in them. (Eze 1:20)18Then the glory of the Lord went out from the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim. (Eze 1:28; Eze 10:4; Eze 43:2)19And the cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth before my eyes as they went out, with the wheels beside them. And they stood at the entrance of the east gate of the house of the Lord, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them. (Eze 1:28; Eze 10:2; Eze 11:1; Eze 11:22; Eze 43:2)20These were the living creatures that I saw underneath the God of Israel by the Chebar canal; and I knew that they were cherubim. (Eze 1:1; Eze 1:5; Eze 1:22; Eze 1:26)21Each had four faces, and each four wings, and underneath their wings the likeness of human hands. (Eze 1:6; Eze 10:8)22And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces whose appearance I had seen by the Chebar canal. Each one of them went straight forward. (Eze 1:10; Eze 10:11)
1I looked, and I saw the likeness of a throne of lapis lazuli above the vault that was over the heads of the cherubim.2The Lord said to the man clothed in linen, ‘Go in among the wheels beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.’ And as I watched, he went in.3Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court.4Then the glory of the Lord rose from above the cherubim and moved to the threshold of the temple. The cloud filled the temple, and the court was full of the radiance of the glory of the Lord.5The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far away as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty[1] when he speaks.6When the Lord commanded the man in linen, ‘Take fire from among the wheels, from among the cherubim,’ the man went in and stood beside a wheel.7Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand to the fire that was among them. He took up some of it and put it into the hands of the man in linen, who took it and went out.8(Under the wings of the cherubim could be seen what looked like human hands.)9I looked, and I saw beside the cherubim four wheels, one beside each of the cherubim; the wheels sparkled like topaz.10As for their appearance, the four of them looked alike; each was like a wheel intersecting a wheel.11As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the cherubim faced; the wheels did not turn about[2] as the cherubim went. The cherubim went in whatever direction the head faced, without turning as they went.12Their entire bodies, including their backs, their hands and their wings, were completely full of eyes, as were their four wheels.13I heard the wheels being called ‘the whirling wheels’.14Each of the cherubim had four faces: one face was that of a cherub, the second the face of a human being, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.15Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures I had seen by the River Kebar.16When 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.17When 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.18Then the glory of the Lord departed from over the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim.19While I watched, the cherubim spread their wings and rose from the ground, and as they went, the wheels went with them. They stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.20These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the River Kebar, and I realised that they were cherubim.21Each had four faces and four wings, and under their wings was what looked like human hands.22Their faces had the same appearance as those I had seen by the River Kebar. Each one went straight ahead.
1I looked up and saw something that appeared to be a throne made out of lapis lazuli. It was above the huge space that was spread out over the heads of the cherubim.2The LORD spoke to the man who was wearing linen clothes. He said, ‘Go in among the wheels beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from the fire that is among the cherubim. Scatter the coals over the city.’ As I watched, he went in.3The cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in. A cloud filled the inner courtyard.4Then the glory of the LORD rose from above the cherubim. It moved to the doorway of the temple. The cloud filled the temple. And the courtyard was full of the brightness of the glory of the LORD.5The sound the wings of the cherubim made could be heard as far away as the outer courtyard. It was like the voice of the Mighty God when he speaks.6The LORD gave a command to the man who was dressed in linen clothes. He said, ‘Get some coals of fire from among the wheels. Take them from among the cherubim.’ So the man went in and stood beside a wheel.7Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand. He picked up some of the burning coals that were among the wheels. He handed them to the man who was wearing linen clothes. The man took them and left.8I saw what looked like human hands. They were under the wings of the cherubim.9I looked up and saw four wheels beside the cherubim. One wheel was beside each of them. The wheels gleamed like topaz.10All four of them looked alike. Each wheel appeared to be inside another wheel at right angles.11The wheels could go in any one of the four directions the cherubim faced. The wheels didn’t change their direction as the cherubim moved. The cherubim went in the direction their heads faced. They didn’t change their direction as they moved.12Their whole bodies were completely covered with eyes. That included their backs, hands and wings. Their four wheels were covered with eyes too.13I heard someone tell the wheels to start spinning around.14Each of the cherubim had four faces. One face was the face of a cherub. The second was the face of a human being. The third was the face of a lion. And the fourth was an eagle’s face.15The cherubim rose from the ground. They were the same living creatures I had seen by the River Kebar.16When the cherubim moved, the wheels beside them moved. The cherubim spread their wings to rise from the ground. As they did, the wheels didn’t leave their side.17When the cherubim stood still, the wheels also stood still. When the cherubim rose, the wheels rose along with them. That’s because the spirits of the living creatures were in the wheels.18Then the glory of the LORD moved away from the doorway of the temple. It stopped above the cherubim.19While I watched, they spread their wings. They rose from the ground. As they went, the wheels went along with them. They stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the LORD’s house. And the glory of the God of Israel was above them.20These were the same living creatures I had seen by the River Kebar. I had seen them beneath the God of Israel. I realised that they were cherubim.21Each one had four faces and four wings. Under their wings was what looked like human hands.22Their faces looked the same as the ones I had seen by the River Kebar. Each of the cherubim went straight ahead.
Ezekiel 10
King James Version
1Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.2And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.3Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.4Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD' glory.5And the sound of the cherubims'wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.6And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.7And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that was between the cherubims, and took thereof , and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it , and went out.8And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man' hand under their wings.9And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone.10And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.11When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.12And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.13As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.14And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.15And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.16And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.17When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also : for the spirit of the living creature was in them.18Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.19And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD' house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.20This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.21Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.22And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
Ezekiel 10
Einheitsübersetzung 2016
from Katholisches Bibelwerk1Und ich sah, siehe da: Oberhalb des Gewölbes über dem Haupt der Kerubim war etwas wie Lapislazuli; etwas, das aussah wie die Gestalt eines Throns, war über ihnen zu sehen. (Eze 1:22; Re 4:3)2Er sprach zu dem Mann, der in ein leinenes Gewand gekleidet war. Er sagte: Geh zwischen die Räder unter dem Kerub! Fülle deine Hände mit den glühenden Kohlen, die zwischen den Kerubim sind, und streu sie über die Stadt! Und vor meinen Augen ging er hinein. (Re 8:5)3Die Kerubim standen rechts vom Tempel, als der Mann zu ihnen ging, und die Wolke erfüllte den inneren Vorhof.4Die Herrlichkeit des HERRN erhob sich vom Kerub hinüber zur Schwelle des Tempels. Der Tempel wurde von der Wolke erfüllt und der Vorhof war erfüllt vom Glanz der Herrlichkeit des HERRN. (1Ki 8:10; Isa 6:4; Eze 1:28; Eze 40:34)5Das Rauschen der Flügel der Kerubim war bis zum äußeren Vorhof hinaus zu hören; es war wie die Stimme Gottes, des Allmächtigen, wenn er spricht. (Eze 43:2; Re 1:15)6Und es geschah, als er dem Mann, der in ein leinenes Gewand gekleidet war, seinen Befehl gab und sprach: Nimm vom Feuer, das zwischen den Rädern und zwischen den Kerubim ist!, da ging dieser und stellte sich neben das Rad.7Da streckte ein Kerub seine Hand mitten aus den Kerubim hervor zu dem Feuer hin, das zwischen den Kerubim war, hob daraus Feuerkohlen auf und legte sie in die Hände des Mannes, der in ein leinenes Gewand gekleidet war. Der nahm davon und ging hinaus.
Auszug der Herrlichkeit aus dem Tempel
8Da war bei den Kerubim etwas zu sehen, das die Form einer Menschenhand hatte. (Eze 1:4)9Und ich schaute und siehe: Vier Räder waren neben den Kerubim, ein Rad neben jedem Kerub, je ein Rad neben je einem Kerub. Die Räder sahen aus wie glänzender Chrysolithstein. (Eze 1:16; Eze 28:13; Da 10:6)10Alle vier sahen gleich aus und es schien so, als laufe ein Rad mitten im andern.11Sie konnten nach allen vier Seiten laufen, und wenn sie gingen, brauchten sie sich nicht umzuwenden; denn der Richtung, die das vordere Rad einschlug, folgten die anderen. Sie brauchten sich nicht umzuwenden, wenn sie gingen.12Ihr ganzer Leib, ihr Rücken, ihre Hände und ihre Flügel und auch die Räder: Sie waren ringsum voller Augen bei allen vieren. (Re 4:8)13Die Räder wurden, wie ich mit eigenen Ohren hörte, Wirbel genannt.[1]14Vier Gesichter hatte jeder Kerub. Das Gesicht des ersten war ein Kerubgesicht und das Gesicht des zweiten ein Menschengesicht. Der dritte hatte ein Löwengesicht und der vierte ein Adlergesicht.15Und die Kerubim erhoben sich. Dies war das Lebewesen, das ich am Fluss Kebar gesehen hatte.16Wenn die Kerubim gingen, dann liefen die Räder an ihrer Seite mit. Auch wenn die Kerubim ihre Flügel bewegten, um sich von der Erde zu erheben, wandten sich die Räder nicht ab von ihrer Seite.17Blieben jene stehen, dann standen diese still. Hoben sich jene empor, dann hoben sie sich mit ihnen; denn der Geist des Lebewesens war in ihnen.18Da zog die Herrlichkeit des HERRN aus, weg von der Schwelle des Tempels und blieb auf den Kerubim stehen. (Eze 1:28; Eze 43:8)19Die Kerubim hoben ihre Flügel und sie stiegen vor meinen Augen von der Erde auf, als sie auszogen, und die Räder liefen an ihrer Seite mit. Und sie stellten sich an den Eingang des östlichen Tores am Haus des HERRN. Und die Herrlichkeit des Gottes Israels war von oben her über ihnen.20Dies war das Lebewesen, das ich unterhalb der Gottheit Israels am Fluss Kebar gesehen hatte, und ich erkannte, dass es Kerubim waren.21Je vier Gesichter hatte jeder und vier Flügel ein jeder. Unter ihren Flügeln hatten sie etwas, das wie Menschenhände aussah.22Was die Gestalt ihrer Gesichter angeht: Es waren die Gesichter, die ich am Fluss Kebar gesehen hatte. Ihr Aussehen und sie selbst: Jeder ging nach der Seite seines Angesichts hin.
