Ezekiel 10:9–17

⁹I looked, and there were four wheels beside the cherubim, ^mone wheel beside each cherub. The luster of the wheels was like the gleam of beryl. ⁿ¹⁰In appearance, all four had the same form, like a wheel within a wheel. ¹¹When they moved, they would go in any of the four directions, ^owithout pivoting as they moved. But wherever the head faced, they would go in that direction, ^pwithout pivoting as they went. ¹²Their entire bodies, ^qincluding their backs, hands, wings, and the wheels that the four of them had, were full of eyes all around. ^r13As I listened the wheels were called “the wheelwork.” ¹⁴Each one had four faces: ^sthe first face was that of a cherub, the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.

¹⁵The cherubim ascended; these were the living creatures I had seen by the Chebar Canal. ^t16When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them, and when they lifted their wings to rise from the earth, even then the wheels did not veer away from them. ¹⁷When the cherubim stood still, ^uthe wheels stood still, and when they ascended, the wheels ascended with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in them.
