Ezekiel 10:1

God's holiness
And I looked and saw above the expanse, above the heads of the cherubim, the likeness of a throne of sapphire.

2 And the LORD said to the man clothed in linen, “Go inside the wheelwork beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” And as I watched, he went in.

3 Now when the man went in, the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple, and a cloud filled the inner court.
