    14 The living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.

    15 Now as I saw the living creatures, behold, one wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces of it.

    16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like a beryl: and the four of them had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.

    17 When they went, they went in their four directions: they didn't turn when they went.

    18 As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and the four of them had their rims full of eyes all around.

    19 When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

    20 Wherever the spirit was to go, they went; there was the spirit to go: and the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

    23 Under the expanse were their wings straight, the one toward the other: each one had two which covered on this side, and every one had two which covered on that side, their bodies.

    24 When they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of an army: when they stood, they let down their wings.

    25 There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads: when they stood, they let down their wings.

    26 Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and on the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on it above.

    6 Everyone had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.

    7 Their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like burnished brass.

    8 They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and the four of them had their faces and their wings [thus]:

    9 their wings were joined one to another; they didn't turn when they went; each one went straight forward.

    12 Each one went straight forward: where the spirit was to go, they went; they didn't turn when they went.
