Ezekiel 10:7-9
New English Translation

7 Then one of the cherubim[a] stretched out his hand[b] 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. 8 (The cherubim appeared to have the form[c] of human hands under their wings.)

9 As I watched, I noticed[d] four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub;[e] the wheels gleamed like jasper.[f]
