Ezek. 10:1 Then I looked, and, behold, in the "firmament," (symbolizing the back of the hand,... above the four
knuckles),... that was above the "head" of the (the four-faced) cherubims, (their faces represented upon the four
knuckles of each hand of the Kohanim), there appeared over them, (these priestly hands), as it were a sapphire stone: [EZ
1:26, Ex 24:10], as the appearance of the likeness of a throne: [Isa. 6:1; Rev. 4:2].
Ezek. 10:2 And he (who sat upon that throne) spake unto the man clothed with linen, (one like unto the Son of man, clothed
with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle, [Rev. 1:13]), and said (to the root of David,
the Lion of Judah: [Rev 5:5], "Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with "coals
of fire" (which are the cues to the Oral Torah, [Matthew 3:12], the Shebitav: [Isa. 6:7]), from between the (four faced)
cherubims, and scatter them over the city: [Isa. 6:9]. And he went in in my sight.
Ezek. 10:3 Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house (of the Lord), (the East gate), when the man (from
between the Cherubim) went in; and the cloud (of Temple) filled the inner court.
Ezek. 10:4 Then the glory of the LORD, (the unwritten Torah), 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'S glory, (the
Torah): [Rev. 15:8].
Ezek. 10:5 And the sound (of the Oral Language) of (encoded cues upon) the cherubims' "wings," (spirits, symbolized
by the digits on each finger), was heard [Luke 24:32, 45] even to the outer court, (which is given unto the Gentiles: [Rev
11:2]), as the voice of the Almighty God, when he speaketh (Truth by means of his Word: [John 1:1]).
Ezek. 10:6 And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, (one like unto the Son of man,
clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle, [Rev. 1:13]), saying, Take (the) fire
(of the Torah to baptize: [Matt 3:12]) from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside
the wheels.
Ezek. 10:7 And 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 (fan spread) hands of him that was clothed with linen, (this one like unto the Son of
man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle, [Rev. 1:13]): who took it (upon
the "wings" of the digits of his own spread fingers), and went out.
Ezek. 10:8 And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man's hand under their wings (of his four grasped fingers).
Ezek. 10:9 And when I looked, behold, (four closed fists), the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel, (thumb to thumb)
by one cherub, and another wheel (thumb to thumb) by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels (locked thumb against
thumb), was as the colour of a (cube shaped) beryl stone.
Ezek. 10:10 And as for their (cube shaped) appearances, (these hands, with their the Seraphim:[Isa 6:2]locked together),
they four, (the four-faced cherub), had one likeness, were as if a "wheel" (ie; all fingers grasped into a fist)
had been in the midst of a "wheel," (forming the cube of Urim and Thummim: [Exodus 8:30]).
Ezek. 10:11 When they went, (these fists), they went (with the back of the hand parallel to the ground), upon (the four
tightly grasped fingers), their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the (four faced) head (on
the knuckles of the fist) looked, they followed it; they turned not as they went, (but were extended shoulder high, directly
forward, with the back of the hand parallel to the ground).
Ezek. 10:12 And their whole body, (these Cherubim), and their (hands on the) backs, and their hands (at the wrist),
and (the three digits on each of the four fingers), their "wings," and (the palm of the hand holding the fist clenched
fingers), the "wheels," were full of (written encodings), "eyes" round about, even the wheels (of their
clenched fists) that they, (the) four (Cherub fingers) had.
Ezek. 10:13 As for the wheels, it was cried (out) unto them in my hearing, (Kohanim!), O wheel.
Ezek. 10:14 And, (each hand), every one had four faces (upon the four knuckles): the first face was the face of (a calf;
[Rev. 4:7]),* a cherub, (on the knuckle of the little finger, on the ring finger), and the second face was the face of a man
(on the knuckle of the middle finger), and the third the face of a lion (on the knuckle of the index finger), and the fourth
the face of an eagle (on the little finger's knuckle). [Rev. 4:7].
Ezek. 10:15 And the cherubims (on the hands) were lifted up (over head). This is the living creature that I saw by the
river of Chebar.
Ezek. 10:16 And when the (four faced) cherubims (represented upon the four knuckles) went, the wheels (of the fists)
went by them: and when the cherubims (at the knuckles) lifted up their (fingers, symbolized as) "wings" to mount
up (raised over head) from the earth, the same wheels (of these fists) also turned not from beside them, (either).
Ezek. 10:17 When (the fists), they stood (still); and when they, (the fists), were lifted up (over heads), these (four
faced knuckles) lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the (four faced) living "creature" was in them, (inside
the wheels of these tightly closed fists).
Ezek. 10:17 When 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, (the hands).
Ezek. 10:18 Then the glory of the LORD, (the unwritten Torah), departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood
over the (spread fan of the fingers of these) cherubims.
Ezek. 10:19 And the (hands, symbolized as these four faced) cherubims lifted up their (twenty four encoded digits),
"wings," (twelve on one set of the fingers, and twelve on the other set), and mounted up, (the extent of an arm's
length), from the earth in my sight: when they went (fanned) out (as if a winnowing fork: [Matt 3:12]), the wheels, (the open
palms of the hand), also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate, (the sacred entrance to the Temple)
of the LORD'S house; and the glory, (the unwritten Torah), of the God of Israel was over them above.
Ezek. 10:20 This 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.
Ezek. 10:21 Every one had four faces apiece, (one on each of the four knuckles), and every one four wings, (the four
fingers); and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their (fanned out fingers), "wings."
Ezek. 10:22 And 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, (hands extended shoulder high, moving directly forward, with the back
of the hand parallel to the ground).
