Ezekiel 10:5-7
New English Translation
5 The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard from the outer court, like the sound of the Sovereign God[a] when he speaks.
6 When the Lord[b] commanded the man dressed in linen, “Take fire from within the wheelwork, from among the cherubim,” the man[c] went in and stood by one of the wheels.[d] 7 Then one of the cherubim[e] stretched out his hand[f] toward the fire that was among the cherubim. He took some and put it into the hands of the man dressed in linen, who took it and left.
