Ezekiel 10 - Easy To Read Version

¹ Then I looked up at the bowl {\cf2\super [78]} over the heads of the Cherub angels. {\cf2\super [79]} The bowl looked clear blue like sapphire. And there was something that looked like a throne over the bowl.

² Then \{the person sitting on the throne\} said to the man dressed in linen clothes, {\cf2\super [80]} “Step into the area between the wheels {\cf2\super [81]} under the Cherub angels. Take a handful of the burning coals from between the Cherub angels and go throw them over the city of Jerusalem.”

³ The Cherub angels {\cf2\super [82]} were standing in the area south {\cf2\super [83]} of the temple as the man walked to them. The cloud filled the inner courtyard.

⁴ Then the Glory of the Lord rose up off of the Cherub angels near the threshold of the door of the temple. Then the cloud filled the temple. And the bright light from the Glory of the Lord filled the whole courtyard.

⁵ The noise from the wings of the Cherub angels could be heard all the way out in the outer courtyard. The sound was very loud—like the thundering voice when God All-Powerful speaks.

⁶ \{God\} had given the man dressed in linen clothes a command. \{God\} had told him to go into the area between the wheels {\cf2\super [84]} among the Cherub angels {\cf2\super [85]} and get some hot coals. So the man went there and stood by the wheel.

⁷ One of the Cherub angels reached out his hand and took some of the hot coals from the area between the Cherub angels. He poured the coals into the man’s hands. And the man left. (

⁸ The Cherub angels had what looked like human arms under their wings.)

⁹ Then I noticed that there were four wheels. There was one wheel by each Cherub angel. {\cf2\super [86]} And the wheels looked like a clear yellow jewel.

¹⁰ There were four wheels and they all looked the same. They looked like there was a wheel in a wheel.

¹¹ Then the man wearing linen clothes and a scribe’s pen and ink set {\cf2\super [77]} spoke up. He said, “I have done what you commanded.”

¹² There were eyes all over their bodies. There were eyes on their backs, on their arms, on their wings, and on their wheels. \{Yes, there were eyes on\} all four wheels!

^13-15 These wheels were what I heard called, “the area between the wheels.”

¹⁶ And the wheels rose with them. When the Cherub angels raised their wings and flew into the air, not even the wheels turned around.

¹⁷ If the Cherub angels flew into the air, the wheels went with them. If the Cherub angels stood still, so did the wheels. Why? Because the wind {\cf2\super [91]} (power) of the animal was in them.

¹⁸ Then the Glory of the Lord rose from the threshold of the temple, moved to the place over the Cherub angels {\cf2\super [92]} and stopped there.

¹⁹ Then the Cherub angels raised their wings and flew into the air. I saw them leave \{the temple\}! The wheels went with them. Then they stopped at the East Gate of the Lord’s temple. The Glory of the God of Israel was in the air above them.
