And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man. 6 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. 7 And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot: and they sparkled like the color of burnished brass. 8 And 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. 9 Their wings were joined to one another; they turned not when they went; they each went straight forward. 10 As for the likeness of their faces, the four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side; and the four had the face of an ox on the left side; the four also had the face of an eagle. 11 Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of each were joined to one another, and two covered their bodies. 12 And each went straight forward: wherever the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went. 13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. 14 And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning. 15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold, one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with their four faces. 16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like the color of a beryl: and the four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 17 When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went. 18 As for their rims, they were so high that they were fearful; and their rims were full of eyes all around the four of them. 19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by 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 their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up beside them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. 21 When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up beside them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. 22 And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the color of an awesome crystal, stretched forth over their heads above. 23 And under the firmament were their wings straight, one toward the other: each one had two, which covered on this side, and each one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies. 24 And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an army: when they stood, they let down their wings. 25 And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings. 26 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. 27 And I saw as the color of amber, as the appearance of fire all around within it, from the appearance of his waist even upward, and from the appearance of his waist even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness all around. 28 Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one speaking.
• Ezek 10:9-9 : 9 And when I looked, behold, the four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like the color of a beryl stone. 10 And regarding their appearances, the four had one likeness, as if one wheel was within another wheel. 11 When they went, they went upon their four sides; they did not turn as they went, but they followed wherever the head looked; they did not turn as they went. 12 And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, the wheels that they four had. 13 As for the wheels, it was called to them in my hearing, O wheel. 14 And each one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, the second was the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. 15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar. 16 And when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them: and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to rise from the earth, the same wheels also did not turn from beside them. 17 When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them. 18 Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim. 19 And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and rose from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels were also beside them, and everyone stood at the entrance of the east gate of the LORD's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
