Thrones
The Thrones, or, more properly, the Ophanim, are unusual looking compared to the
other celestial beings; They appear as a beryl-colored wheel-within-a-wheel,
their rims covered with hundreds of eyes.
They are closely connected with the Cherubim: "When they moved, the others
moved; when they stopped, the others stopped; and when they rose from the earth,
the wheels rose along with them; for the spirit of the living creatures
[Cherubim] was in the wheels." (Ezekiel 10:21).
