Cherubim » The glory of God exhibited upon
There was spread out over the heads of the living beings what looked like a canopy, in outward appearance resembling ice,
From above the canopy that was spread out over their heads, there appeared to be something reminiscent of a throne, resembling sapphire in form. There was the likeness of the appearance of a human being seated on the likeness of the throne high above. I noticed that from what appeared to look like his waist upward there was something that looked like metal that glowed as if it were immersed in fire. Below this there was something resembling fire, with a radiant light surrounding him. The appearance of the radiant light resembled that of a rainbow shining in a cloud on a rainy day. This was what the appearance of the form of the glory of the LORD resembled. When I saw all of this, I fell flat on my face. Then I heard a voice speaking.
The glory of the LORD rose above the cherub and moved to the threshold of the Temple. A cloud filled the Temple and the court was filled with the brilliance of the LORD's glory.
Then the glory of the LORD moved away from the threshold of the Temple and stood over the cherubim.

Then the cherubim arose, with their wheels alongside, and the glory of Israel's God remained above and over them.
