Ezekiel 10:19

10:19 The cherubim spread 1  their wings, and they rose up from the earth 2  while I watched (when they went the wheels went alongside them). They stopped at the entrance to the east gate of the Lord’s temple as the glory of the God of Israel hovered above them.

Ezekiel 12:7

Ezekiel 16:8

16:8 “‘Then I passed by you and watched you, noticing 4  that you had reached the age for love. 5  I spread my cloak 6  over you and covered your nakedness. I swore a solemn oath to you and entered into a marriage covenant with you, declares the sovereign Lord, and you became mine.
