And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also [were] beside them, and [every one] stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD’S house; and the glory of the God of Israel [was] over them above.

Mounted up. In v. 3 the cherubim had stood by “the right side of the house.” The removal to the east gate is preparatory to the final departure.

Every one. The Hebrew verb requires a singular subject; hence the translators of the KJV supplied “every one.” The LXX and the Syriac read, “they stood.”
