8(The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.)
9As I watched, I noticed four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub; the wheels gleamed like jasper.
10As for their appearance, all four of them looked the same, something like a wheel within a wheel.
11When they moved, they would go in any of the four directions they faced without turning as they moved; in the direction the head would turn they would follow without turning as they moved,
12along with their entire bodies, their backs, their hands, and their wings. The wheels of the four of them were full of eyes all around.
13As for their wheels, they were called“the wheelwork” as I listened.
14Each of the cherubim had four faces: The first was the face of a cherub, the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.
15The cherubim rose up; these were the living beings I saw at the Kebar River.
16When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them; when the cherubim spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not move from their side.
17When the cherubim stood still, the wheels stood still, and when they rose up, the wheels rose up with them, for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.
18Then the glory of the LORD moved away from the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim.
19The cherubim spread their wings, and they rose up from the earth while I watched(when they went the wheels went alongside them). They stopped at the entrance to the east gate of the LORD’s temple as the glory of the God of Israel hovered above them.
20These were the living creatures which I saw at the Kebar River underneath the God of Israel; I knew that they were cherubim.
21Each had four faces; each had four wings and the form of human hands under the wings.
22As for the form of their faces, they were the faces whose appearance I had seen at the Kebar River. Each one moved straight ahead.
