¹⁶ When 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.

¹⁷ When 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.^(A)

¹⁹ While I watched, the cherubim spread their wings and rose from the ground, and as they went, the wheels went with them.^(A) They stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory^(B) of the God of Israel was above them.
