    4 And, looking, I saw a storm-wind coming out of the north, a great cloud with flames of fire coming after one another, and a bright light shining round about it and in the heart of it was something coloured like electrum.

    5 And in the heart of it were the forms of four living beings. And this was what they were like; they had the form of a man.

    6 And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.

    7 And their feet were straight feet; and the under sides of their feet were like the feet of oxen; and they were shining like polished brass.

    8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings; the four of them had faces on their four sides.

    9 They went without turning, every one went straight forward.

    10 As for the form of their faces, they had the face of a man, and the four of them had the face of a lion on the right side, and the four of them had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four of them had the face of an eagle.

    11 And their wings were separate at the top; two of the wings of every one were joined one to another, and two were covering their bodies.

    12 Every one of them went straight forward; wherever the spirit was to go they went; they went on without turning.

    13 And between the living beings it was like burning coals of fire, as if flames were going one after the other between the living beings; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went thunder-flames.

    14 And the living beings went out and came back as quickly as a thunder-flame.

    15 Now while I was looking at the four living beings, I saw one wheel on the earth, by the side of the living beings, for the four of them.

    16 The form of the wheels and their work was like a beryl; the four of them had the same form and design, and they were like a wheel inside a wheel.

    17 The four of them went straight forward without turning to one side.

    18 And I saw that they had edges, and their edges, even of the four, were full of eyes round about.

    19 And when the living beings went on, the wheels went by their side; and when the living beings were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

    20 Wherever the spirit was to go they went; and the wheels were lifted up by their side: for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.

    21 When these went on, the others went; and when these came to rest, the others came to rest; and when these were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up by their side: for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.

    22 And over the heads of the living beings there was the form of an arch, looking like ice, stretched out over their heads on high.

    23 Under the arch their wings were straight, one stretched out to another: every one had two wings covering their bodies on this side and two covering their bodies on that side.
