“Then the glory
Of Yahweh
Went out
From the threshold
Of the house.
He stopped
Over the cherubim.
The cherubim
Lifted up
Their wings.
They rose up
From the earth.
In my sight.
They went out
With the wheels
Beside them.
They stood
At the entrance
Of the east gate
Of the house
Of Yahweh.
The glory
Of the God of Israel
Was over them.”
The glory of Yahweh or his presence was leaving the Temple, his house. The glory of Yahweh stopped at the threshold of the house over the cherubim. The cherubim then lifted up their wings and rose up from the earth. Ezekiel saw them with their wheels beside them. They left via the east gate of the Temple. The glory of the God of Israel went with the cherubim.
