    10 Their faces had this appearance: Each of the four had the face of a man, with the face of a lion on the right, the face of an ox on the left and also the face of an eagle.

    11 Their wings were spread out above them; each had two wings touching the wings of one of the other beings on either side and two wings covering their bodies.

    12 Each moved straight ahead– wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went.

    13 In the middle of the living beings was something like burning coals of fire or like torches. It moved back and forth among the living beings. It was bright, and lightning was flashing out of the fire.

    14 The living beings moved backward and forward as quickly as flashes of lightning.

    15 Then I looked, and I saw one wheel on the ground beside each of the four beings.

    16 The appearance of the wheels and their construction was like gleaming jasper, and all four wheels looked alike. Their structure was like a wheel within a wheel.

    17 When they moved they would go in any of the four directions they faced without turning as they moved.

    18 Their rims were high and awesome, and the rims of all four wheels were full of eyes all around.

    19 When the living beings moved, the wheels beside them moved; when the living beings rose up from the ground, the wheels rose up too.

    20 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise up beside them because the spirit of the living being was in the wheel.

    21 When the living beings moved, the wheels moved, and when they stopped moving, the wheels stopped. When they rose up from the ground, the wheels rose up from the ground; the wheels rose up beside them because the spirit of the living being was in the wheel.

    22 Over the heads of the living beings was something like a platform, glittering awesomely like ice, stretched out over their heads.

    23 Under the platform their wings were stretched out, each toward the other. Each of the beings also had two wings covering its body.

    24 When they moved, I heard the sound of their wings– it was like the sound of rushing waters, or the voice of the Sovereign One, or the tumult of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings.

    25 Then there was a voice from above the platform over their heads when they stood still.

    26 Above the platform over their heads was something like a sapphire shaped like a throne. High above on the throne was a form that appeared to be a man.

    8 (The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.)

    9 As I watched, I noticed four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub; the wheels gleamed like jasper.

    10 As for their appearance, all four of them looked the same, something like a wheel within a wheel.

    11 When 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,

    12 along with their entire bodies, their backs, their hands, and their wings. The wheels of the four of them were full of eyes all around.

    13 As for their wheels, they were called“the wheelwork” as I listened.

    14 Each 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.

    15 The cherubim rose up; these were the living beings I saw at the Kebar River.

    16 When 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.

    17 When 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.
