Ezekiel 10

Ezekiel sees a sapphire-like throne above the cherubim; YHWH commands the man in linen to take coals of fire from between the cherubim and scatter them over the city as judgment on Jerusalem.[1][2][3] The *kabod* of YHWH rises from the cherub, fills the temple with cloud and brightness, and departs from the threshold to the east gate atop the cherubim chariot, signifying withdrawal due to Israel's sin.[1][2][5][6]
