- Ezek 10:9-9 : 9 I loked also, and behold foure wheeles beside the Cherubims, one wheele by one Cherub, and another by another Cherub, and the wheeles were to loke vpon after the fashion of the precious stone Tharsis. 10 As touchyng their appearaunce (they were all foure of one fashion) as yf one wheele had ben in another. 11 When they went foorth, they went vpon their foure sides, not turnyng backe in their goyng: for which way the head of the first loked, after it they went, so that they turned not backe in their goyng. 12 And their whole bodyes, their backes, their handes, and wynges, yea and the wheeles also were full of eyes rounde about the foure wheeles. 13 And to the wheeles, he cryed to them in my hearyng, O wheele, 14 Euery one of them had foure faces, so that the face of the first was the face of a Cherub, and the face of the seconde the face of a man, and of the thirde the face of a lion, and of the fourth the face of an egle. 15 And the Cherubims were lyfted vp: This is the beast that I sawe at the water of Chebar. 16 Nowe when the Cherubims went, the wheeles went by them: and when the Cherubims lyft vp their wynges to mount vp from the earth, the same wheeles also turned not from besides them. 17 Shortly when they stoode, these stoode also, and when they were lifted vp, the wheeles lift vp them selues also with them: for the spirite of the beast was in the wheeles. 18 Then the glorie of the Lorde departed from aboue the doore of the temple, and remayned vpon the Cherubims. 19 And the Cherubims flackered with their wynges, and lyft them selues vp from the earth, so that I sawe when they went, & the wheeles besides them, and they stoode at the doore of the east gate of the house of the Lorde, so the glorie of the God of Israel was vpon them on hye. 20 This is the beast that I sawe vnder the God of Israel by the riuer of Chebar, and I perceaued that it was the Cherubims. 21 Euery one had foure faces, and euery one foure wynges, and vnder their wynges the likenesse of mens handes. 22 Touchyng the similitude of their countenaunces, they were the very same countenaunces which I sawe at the riuer Chebar, and the selfe same appearaunces: euery one in his goyng went strayght forwarde.
