other cherub; and the appearance of the
wheels was as the beryl stone. And

went by them: and when the cherubims
lifted up their wings to mount up from
the earth the same wheels turned not
from beside them. When they stood

wings, and mounted up from the earth
in my sight; when they went out, the
wheels also were beside them Evil
