Ezekiel 1:5–21

⁵Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of ⁿfour living creatures. And ^othis was their appearance; they had ^pthe likeness of a man. ^6pAnd every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. ⁷And their feet were ^†straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot: and they sparkled ^qlike ^mthe colour of burnished brass. ^8rAnd they had the hands of a man under their wings on ^stheir four sides; and ^rthey four had their faces and their wings. ^9*tTheir wings were ^ujoined one to another; ^vthey turned not when they went; ^wthey went every one straight forward. ¹⁰As for the likeness of their faces, ^xthey four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. ¹¹Thus were their faces: and their wings were ^||stretched upward; ^ttwo wings of every one were joined one to another, and ^ytwo covered their bodies. ¹²And ^wthey went every one straight forward: ^zwhither the spirit was to go, they went; and ^vthey turned not when they went. ¹³As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning ^acoals of fire, and like the appearance of ^blamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. ¹⁴And the living creatures ^cran and returned as the appearance of ^da flash of lightning.

^15eNow as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces. ^16eThe appearance of the wheels and their work was ^elike unto the colour of ^fa beryl: ^gand they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was ^gas it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. ^17hWhen they went, they went upon their four ⁱsides: and ^jthey turned not when they went. ¹⁸As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their ^||rings were ^kfull of ^ceyes round about them four. ^19lAnd when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and ^mwhen the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. ²⁰ⁿWhithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and ^mthe wheels were lifted up over against them: ^mfor the spirit ^||of the living creature was in the wheels. ^21oWhen those went, these went; and ^oowhen those stood, these stood; and ^mwhen those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up ^pover against them: ^mfor the spirit ^||of the living creature was in the wheels.
