And David told Solomon how much pure gold should be used to make the altar for burning incense. He also gave Solomon the plan for the chariot of the gold cherubim. The cherubim spread their wings over the ark of the covenant of the Lord.

Make two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover.Put one of the cherubim on each end of it. Make the cherubim part of the cover itself.They must have their wings spread up over the cover. The cherubim must face each other and look toward the cover.Place the cover on top of the ark. I will give you the tablets of the covenant law. Put them in the ark.The ark is where the tablets of the covenant law are kept. I will meet with you above the cover between the two cherubim that are over the ark. There I will give you all my commands for the Israelites.

“ Make an altar for burning incense. Make it out of acacia wood.It must be one and a half feet square and three feet high. Make a horn stick out from each of its upper four corners.Cover the top, sides and horns with pure gold. Put a strip of gold around it.Make two gold rings for the altar below the strip. Put the rings across from each other. They will hold the poles that are used to carry it.Make the poles out of acacia wood. Cover them with gold.Put the altar in front of the curtain that hangs in front of the ark. The ark is where the tablets of the covenant law are kept. The ark will have a cover. It will be the place where sin is paid for. There I will meet with you.“ Aaron must burn sweet- smelling incense on the altar. He must do it every morning when he takes care of the lamps.He must burn incense again when he lights the lamps at sunset. Incense must be burned regularly in front of the Lord. Do it for all time to come.Do not burn any other incense on the altar. Do not use the altar for burnt offerings or grain offerings. And do not pour drink offerings on it.Once a year Aaron must put the blood of a sin offering on the horns of the altar. He must do this to make the altar pure. He must do this on the day Israel’s sin is paid for. Do this for all time to come. The altar is a very holy place to me.”

The Lord rules. Let the nations tremble. He sits on his throne between the cherubim. Let the earth shake.

So the people sent men to Shiloh. They brought back the ark of the Lord’ s covenant law. He sits there on his throne between the cherubim. The Lord is the one who rules over all. Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were with the ark of God’s covenant law. The ark was in Shiloh.

He stood on the cherubim and flew. The wings of the wind lifted him up.

As I looked at the living creatures, I saw wheels on the ground beside them. Each creature had four faces.Here’s how the wheels looked and worked. They gleamed like topaz. All four of them looked alike. Each one seemed to be made like a wheel inside another wheel at right angles.The wheels could go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced. The wheels didn’t change their direction as the creatures moved.Their rims were high and terrifying. All four rims were full of eyes all the way around them.When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved. When the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose.Anywhere their spirits would lead them to go, they would go. And the wheels would rise along with them. That’s because the spirits of the living creatures were in the wheels.When the living creatures moved, the wheels also moved. When the creatures stood still, they also stood still. When the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them. That’s because the spirits of the living creatures were in the wheels.Something that looked like a huge space was spread out above the heads of the living creatures. It gleamed like crystal. It was terrifying.The wings of the creatures were spread out under the space. They reached out toward one another. Each creature had two wings covering its body.When the living creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings. It was like the roar of rushing waters. It sounded like the thundering voice of the Mighty God. It was like the loud noise an army makes. When the creatures stood still, they lowered their wings.

Solomon also made everything in the Lord’ s temple. He made the golden altar. He made the golden table for the holy bread.

Shepherd of Israel, hear us. You lead the people of Joseph like a flock. You sit on your throne between the cherubim. Show your glory

For the Most Holy Room Solomon made a pair of cherubim. He made them out of olive wood. Each cherub was 15 feet high.One wing of the first cherub was seven and a half feet long. The other wing was also seven and a half feet long. So the wings measured 15 feet from tip to tip.The second cherub’s wings also measured 15 feet from tip to tip. The two cherubim had the same size and shape.Each cherub was 15 feet high.Solomon placed the cherubim inside the Most Holy Room in the temple. Their wings were spread out. The wing tip of one cherub touched one wall. The wing tip of the other touched the other wall. The tips of their wings touched each other in the middle of the room.Solomon covered the cherubim with gold.On the walls all around the temple he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers. He carved them on the walls of the Most Holy Room and the main hall.He also covered the floors of those two rooms with gold.

The cherubim were above the ark. God showed his glory there. The cherubim spread their wings over the place where sin was paid for. But we can’t say everything about these things now.

The Lord spoke to the man who was wearing linen clothes. He said,“ Go in among the wheels beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from the fire that is among the cherubim. Scatter the coals over the city.” As I watched, he went in.The cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in. A cloud filled the inner courtyard.Then the glory of the Lord rose from above the cherubim. It moved to the doorway of the temple. The cloud filled the temple. And the courtyard was full of the brightness of the glory of the Lord.The sound the wings of the cherubim made could be heard as far away as the outer courtyard. It was like the voice of the Mighty God when he speaks.The Lord gave a command to the man who was dressed in linen clothes. He said,“ Get some coals of fire from among the wheels. Take them from among the cherubim.” So the man went in and stood beside a wheel.Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand. He picked up some of the burning coals that were among the wheels. He handed them to the man who was wearing linen clothes. The man took them and left.I saw what looked like human hands. They were under the wings of the cherubim.I looked up and saw four wheels beside the cherubim. One wheel was beside each of them. The wheels gleamed like topaz.All four of them looked alike. Each wheel appeared to be inside another wheel at right angles.The wheels could go in any one of the four directions the cherubim faced. The wheels didn’t change their direction as the cherubim moved. The cherubim went in the direction their heads faced. They didn’t change their direction as they moved.Their whole bodies were completely covered with eyes. That included their backs, hands and wings. Their four wheels were covered with eyes too.I heard someone tell the wheels to start spinning around.Each of the cherubim had four faces. One face was the face of a cherub. The second was the face of a human being. The third was the face of a lion. And the fourth was an eagle’s face.The cherubim rose from the ground. They were the same living creatures I had seen by the Kebar River.When the cherubim moved, the wheels beside them moved. The cherubim spread their wings to rise from the ground. As they did, the wheels didn’t leave their side.When the cherubim stood still, the wheels also stood still. When the cherubim rose, the wheels rose along with them. That’s because the spirits of the living creatures were in the wheels.Then the glory of the Lord moved away from the doorway of the temple. It stopped above the cherubim.While I watched, they spread their wings. They rose from the ground. As they went, the wheels went along with them. They stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the Lord’ s house. And the glory of the God of Israel was above them.These were the same living creatures I had seen by the Kebar River. I had seen them beneath the God of Israel. I realized that they were cherubim.Each one had four faces and four wings. Under their wings was what looked like human hands.Their faces looked the same as the ones I had seen by the Kebar River. Each of the cherubim went straight ahead.

God has come with tens of thousands of his chariots. He has come with thousands and thousands of them. The Lord has come from Mount Sinai. He has entered his holy place.
