The Divine Throne- Chariot , from the Dead Sea Scrolls. ... The ministers of the Glorious Face in the abode of the gods of knowledge fall down before him, and the cherubim utter blessings.And as they rise up , there is a divine small voice and loud praise ; there is a divine small voice as they fold their wings.
The cherubim bless the image of the Throne-Chariot above the firmament, and they praise the majesty of the fiery firmament beneath the seat of his glory.
And between the turning wheels,
angels of holiness come and go, as it were a fiery vision of most holy spirits ; and about them flow seeming rivulets of fire,
like gleaming bronze, a radiance of many gorgeous colors, of marvelous pigments magnificiently mingled.
The Spirits of the Living God move perpetually with the glory of the wonderful Chariot. The small voice of blessing accompanies the tumult as they depart, and on the path of their return they worship the Holy One, Ascending they rise marvelously ; settling, they stay still. The sound of joyful praise is silenced and there is a small voice of blessing in all the camp of God.
And a voice of praise resounds from the midsts of all their divisions in worship. And each one in his place, all their numbered ones sing hymns of praise.
And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the Lord, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire. 2 Kings 23:11
See how keeping the Sabbath HOLY meant to keep it as a day of REST and for a Holy Convocation in the local areas. The Convocation was to read or rehearse the Laws: it was NEVER a day of worship.
See how Euripides defines this in Apollo Worship and the Sun Chariot
