Notes on this text (1)
- Ezra and Nehemiah form one book (2 Esdras) in this edition; the reader shows them as Ezra 1–10 and Nehemiah 1–13.
1 Καὶ ἴδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐπάνω τοῦ στερεώματος τοῦ ὑπὲρ κεφαλῆς τῶν χερουβὶμ, ὡς λίθος σαπφείρου ὁμοίωμα θρόνου ἐπʼ αὐτῶν.
1 Then I looked, and see, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
2 Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα τὸν ἐνδεδυκότα τὴν στολὴν, εἴσελθε εἰς τὸ μέσον τῶν τροχῶν, τῶν ὑποκάτω τῶν χερουβὶμ, καὶ πλῆσον τὰς δράκας σου ἀνθράκων πυρὸς ἐκ μέσου τῶν χερουβὶμ, καὶ διασκόρπισον ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν· καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ.
2 He spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, “Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city.” He went in as I watched.
3 Καὶ τὰ χερουβὶμ εἱστήκει ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ οἴκου ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι τὸν ἄνδρα, καὶ ἡ νεφέλη ἔπλησε τὴν αὐλήν τὴν ἐσωτέραν.
3 Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
4 Καὶ ἀπῇρεν ἡ δόξα Κυρίου ἀπὸ τῶν χερουβὶμ εἰς τὸ αἴθριον τοῦ οἴκου, καὶ ἐπλησε τὸν οἶκον ἡ νεφέλη· καὶ ἡ αὐλὴ ἐπλήσθη τοῦ φέγγους τῆς δόξης Κυρίου.
4 Yahweh’s glory mounted up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of Yahweh’s glory.
5 Καὶ φωνὴ τῶν πτερύγων τῶν χερουβὶμ ἠκούετο ἕως τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς ἐξωτέρας, ὡς φωνὴ Θεοῦ σαδδαῒ λαλοῦντος.
5 The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
6 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐντέλλεσθαι αὐτὸν τῷ ἀνδρὶ τῷ ἐνδεδυκότι τὴν στολὴν τὴν ἁγίαν, λέγων, λάβε πῦρ ἐκ μέσου τῶν τροχῶν ἐκ μέσου τῶν χερουβὶμ, καὶ εἰσῆλθε καὶ ἔστη ἐχόμενος τῶν τροχῶν.
6 It came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” that he went in and stood beside a wheel.
7 Καὶ ἐξέτεινε τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ εἰς μέσον τοῦ πυρὸς τοῦ ὄντος εἰς μέσον τῶν χερουβὶμ, καὶ ἔλαβε, καὶ ἔδωκεν εἰς τὰς χεῖρας τοῦ ἐνδεδυκότος τὴν στολὴν τὴν ἁγίαν, καὶ ἔλαβε καὶ ἐξῆλθε.
7 The cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took some of it, and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.
8 Καὶ ἴδον τὰ χερουβὶμ ὁμοίωμα χειρῶν ἀνθρώπων ὑποκάτωθεν τῶν πτερύγων αὐτῶν.
8 The form of a man’s hand appeared here in the cherubim under their wings.
9 Καὶ ἴδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ τροχοὶ τέσσαρες εἱστήκεισαν ἐχόμενοι τῶν χερουβὶμ· τροχὸς εἷς ἐχόμενος χεροὺβ ἑνός· καὶ ἡ ὄψις τῶν τροχῶν, ὡς ὄψις λίθου ἄνθρακος.
9 I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub. The appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.
10 Καὶ ὄψις αὐτῶν ὁμοίωμα ἓν τοῖς τέσσαρσιν, ὃν τρόπον ὅταν ᾖ τροχὸς ἐν μέσῳ τροχοῦ.
10 As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.
11 Ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτὰ, εἰς τὰ τέσσαρα μέρη αὐτῶν ἐπορεύοντο, οὐκ ἐπέστρεφον ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτά· ὅτι εἰς ὃν ἂν τόπον ἐπέβλεψεν ἡ ἀρχὴ ἡ μία, ἐπορεύοντο, καὶ οὐκ ἐπέστρεφον ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτά.
11 When they went, they went in their four directions. They didn’t turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it. They didn’t turn as they went.
12 Καὶ οἱ νῶτοι αὐτῶν, καὶ αἱ χεῖρες αὐτῶν, καὶ αἱ πτέρυγες αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ τροχοὶ πλήρεις ὀφθαλμῶν κυκλόθεν τοῖς τέσσαρσι τροχοῖς,
12 Their whole body, including their backs, their hands, their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, even the wheels that the four of them had.
13 τοῖς δὲ τροχοῖς τούτοις ἐπεκλήθη Γελγὲλ ἀκούοντός μου.
13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, “the whirling wheels”. 14 Every one of them had four faces. The first face was the face of the cherub. The second face was the face of a man. The third face was the face of a lion. The fourth was the face of an eagle.
15 Καὶ τὰ χερουβὶμ ἦσαν τοῦτο τὸ ζῶον ὃ ἴδον ἐπὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ Χοβάρ.
15 The cherubim mounted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.
16 Καὶ ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι τὰ χερουβὶμ, ἑπορεύοντο οἱ τροχοὶ, καὶ οὗτοι ἐχόμενοι αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐξαίρειν τὰ χερουβὶμ τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτῶν τοῦ μετεωρίζεσθαι ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, οὐκ ἐπέστρεφον οἱ τροχοὶ αὐτῶν.
16 When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also didn’t turn from beside them.
17 Ἐν τῷ ἑστᾶναι αὐτὰ, εἱστήκεισαν· καὶ ἐν τῷ μετεωρίζεσθαι αὐτὰ, μετεωρίζοντο μετʼ αὐτῶν· διότι πνεῦμα ζωῆς ἐν αὐτοῖς ἦν.
17 When they stood, these stood. When they mounted up, these mounted up with them; for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
18 Καὶ ἐξῆλθε δόξα Κυρίου ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου, καὶ ἐπέβη ἐπὶ τὰ χερουβίμ.
18 Yahweh’s glory went out from over the threshold of the house and stood over the cherubim.
19 Καὶ ἀνέλαβον τὰ χερουβὶμ τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐμετεωρίσθησαν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ· ἐν τῷ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτὰ, καὶ οἱ τροχοὶ ἐχόμενοι αὐτῶν· καὶ ἔστησαν ἐπὶ τὰ πρόθυρα τῆς πύλης οἴκου Κυρίου τῆς ἀπέναντι, καὶ δόξα Θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἦν ἐπʼ αὐτῶν ὑπεράνω.
19 The cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went out, with the wheels beside them. Then they stood at the door of the east gate of Yahweh’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
20 Τοῦτο τὸ ζῶόν ἐστιν ὃ ἴδον ὑποκάτω Θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ Χοβὰρ, καὶ ἔγνων ὅτι χερουβίμ ἐστι.
20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.
21 Τέσσαρα πρόσωπα τῷ ἑνὶ, καὶ ὀκτὼ πτέρυγες τῷ ἑνὶ, καὶ ὁμοίωμα χειρῶν ἀνθρώπου ὑποκάτωθεν τῶν πτερύγων αὐτῶν.
21 Every one had four faces, and every one four wings. The likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
22 Καὶ ὁμοίωσις τῶν προσώπων αὐτῶν, ταῦτα τὰ πρόσωπά ἐστιν ἃ ἴδον ὑποκάτω τῆς δόξης τοῦ Θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ Χοβάρ· καὶ αὐτὰ ἕκαστον κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτῶυ ἐπορεύοντο.
22 As for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves. They each went straight forward.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
He sees, like Esaias, the Lord sitting upon a throne high and lifted up; he sees, like Ezekiel, Him who is above the Cherubim; he sees like Daniel, ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; and the man, who is so little, beholds the beginning of the world, and knows the end of the world, and the …
