The appearance of the wheels was like the gleam of a beryl stone. 10 All four wheels looked alike in their appearance, resembling a wheel within a wheel. 11 When they moved, they went in any of the four directions without turning as they went. They followed the direction the head faced and did not turn as they moved. 12 Their entire bodies, backs, hands, wings, and the wheels were completely covered with eyes all around—the wheels belonged to all four of them. 13 I heard the wheels being called 'whirling wheels' in my hearing. 14 Each cherub had four faces: one was the face of a cherub, the second the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

    21When the creatures moved, the wheels moved; when they stood still, the wheels stood still; and when they rose from the ground, the wheels rose with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

    22Over the heads of the living creatures there was something like an expanse, gleaming like awe-inspiring crystal, spread out above their heads.

    23Under the expanse, their wings were spread out straight, one toward another, and each creature had two wings covering its body on one side and two wings covering its body on the other side.

    24When they moved, I heard the sound of their wings like the roar of mighty waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a sound of tumult like the noise of an army. When they stood still, they let down their wings.

    25A voice came from above the expanse over their heads as they stood still with their wings lowered.

    26Above the expanse over their heads was something like a throne, resembling a sapphire stone. And on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a human seated above it.
