  • Ezek 1:4-9 : 4 And I look, and lo, a tempestuous wind is coming from the north, a great cloud, and fire catching itself, and brightness to it round about, and out of its midst as the colour of copper, out of the midst of the fire. 5 And out of its midst `is' a likeness of four living creatures, and this `is' their appearance; a likeness of man `is' to them, 6 and four faces `are' to each, and four wings `are' to each of them, 7 and their feet `are' straight feet, and the sole of their feet `is' as a sole of a calf's foot, and they are sparkling as the colour of bright brass; 8 and hands of man under their wings -- on their four sides, and their faces and their wings -- `are' to them four; 9 joining one unto another `are' their wings, they turn not round in their going, each straight forward they go. 10 As to the likeness of their faces, the face of a man, and the face of a lion, toward the right `are' to them four, and the face of an ox on the left `are' to them four, and the face of an eagle `are' to them four. 11 And their faces and their wings are separate from above, to each `are' two joining together, and two are covering their bodies. 12 And each straight forward they go, whither the spirit is to go, they go, they turn not round in their going. 13 As to the likeness of the living creatures, their appearances `are' as coals of fire -- burning as the appearance of lamps; it is going up and down between the living creatures, and brightness `is' to the fire, and out of the fire is going forth lightning. 14 And the living creatures are running, and turning back, as the appearance of the flash. 15 And I see the living creatures, and lo, one wheel `is' in the earth, near the living creatures, at its four faces. 16 The appearance of the wheels and their works `is' as the colour of beryl, and one likeness `is' to them four, and their appearances and their works `are' as it were the wheel in the midst of the wheel. 17 On their four sides, in their going they go, they turn not round in their going. 18 As to their rings, they are both high and fearful, and their rings `are' full of eyes round about them four. 19 And in the going of the living creatures, the wheels go beside them, and in the living creatures being lifted up from off the earth, lifted up are the wheels. 20 Whither the spirit is to go, they go, thither the spirit `is' to go, and the wheels are lifted up over-against them, for a living spirit `is' in the wheels. 21 In their going, they go; and in their standing, they stand; and in their being lifted up from off the earth, lifted up are the wheels over-against them; for a living spirit `is' in the wheels. 22 And a likeness `is' over the heads of the living creatures of an expanse, as the colour of the fearful ice, stretched out over their heads from above. 23 And under the expanse their wings `are' straight, one toward the other, to each are two covering on this side, and to each are two covering on that side -- their bodies. 24 And I hear the noise of their wings, as the noise of many waters, as the noise of the Mighty One, in their going -- the noise of tumult, as the noise of a camp, in their standing they let fall their wings. 25 And there is a voice from above the expanse, that `is' above their head: in their standing they let fall their wings. 26 And above the expanse that `is' over their head, as an appearance of a sapphire stone, `is' the likeness of a throne, and on the likeness of the throne a likeness, as the appearance of man upon it from above. 27 And I see as the colour of copper, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upward, and from the appearance of his loins and downward, I have seen as the appearance of fire, and brightness `is' to it round about. 28 As the appearance of the bow that is in a cloud in a day of rain, so `is' the appearance of the brightness round about.
  • Ezek 10:9-9 : 9 and I look, and lo, four wheels near the cherubs, one wheel near the one cherub, and another wheel near the other cherub, and the appearance of the wheels `is' as the colour of a beryl stone. 10 As to their appearances, one likeness `is' to them four, as it were the wheel in the midst of the wheel. 11 In their going, on their four sides they go; they turn not round in their going, for to the place whither the head turneth, after it they go, they turn not round in their going. 12 And all their flesh, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, are full of eyes round about; to them four `are' their wheels. 13 To the wheels -- to them is one calling in mine ears, `O wheel!' 14 And four faces `are' to each; the face of the one `is' the face of the cherub, and the face of the second the face of man, and of the third the face of a lion, and of the fourth the face of an eagle. 15 And the cherubs are lifted up, it `is' the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar. 16 And in the going of the cherubs, the wheels go beside them; and in the cherubs lifting up their wings to be high above the earth, the wheels turn not round, even they, from being beside them. 17 In their standing they stand, and in their exaltation they are exalted with them: for the living spirit `is' in them. 18 And go forth doth the honour of Jehovah from off the threshold of the house, and standeth over the cherubs, 19 and the cherubs lift up their wings, and are lifted up from the earth before mine eyes; in their going forth, the wheels also `are' over-against them, and he standeth at the opening of the east gate of the house of Jehovah, and the honour of the God of Israel `is' over them from above. 20 It `is' the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar, and I know that they are cherubs. 21 Four faces `are' to each, and four wings to each, and the likeness of the hands of man `is' under their wings. 22 As to the likeness of their faces, they `are' the faces that I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; each straight forward they go.
