Read in context

Ezekiel 10:18–22 · Berean Standard Bible

18 Then the glory of the LORD moved away from the threshold of the temple and stood above the cherubim.

19 As I watched, the cherubim lifted their wings and rose up from the ground, with the wheels beside them as they went. And they stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the house of the LORD, with the glory of the God of Israel above them.

20 These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the River Kebar, and I knew that they were cherubim.

21 Each had four faces and four wings, with what looked like human hands under their wings.

22 Their faces looked like the faces I had seen by the River Kebar. Each creature went straight ahead.
