In context

15And the cherubs were the same living creature which I saw by the river of Chebar.

16And when the cherubs went, the wheels went, and they were close to them: and when the cherubs lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, their wheels turned not.

— Ezekiel 10:17 —

18Then the glory of the Lord departed from the house, and went up on the cherubs.

19And the cherubs lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went forth, the wheels were also beside them, and they stood at the entrance of the front gate of the house of the Lord; and the glory of the God of Israel was upon them above.
