“Yahweh commanded
The man clothed in linen.
‘Take fire
From within the wheelworks,
From among the cherubim!’
The man clothed in linen
Went in.
He stood beside a wheel.
A cherub
Stretched out his hand,
From among the cherubim,
To the fire
That was among the cherubim.
The cherub took some of it.
He put it into the hands
Of the man clothed in linen,
Who took it.
He went out.
The cherubim appeared
To have the form
Of a human hand
Under their wings.”
Yahweh told the man clothed in linen with the writing case by his side to take fire from within the wheelworks among the cherubim. Thus this guy went in and stood beside a wheel. Then one of the cherubim stretched out his hand into the fire among the other cherubim. This cherub took some of it and put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen. He then took the fire and went outside. These cherubim appeared to have the form of a human hand under their wings, as in chapter 1 of this work.
