¹⁴And each one had four faces;^c the face of the one was the face of a cherub, and the face of the second was the face of a human, and the face of the third was the face of a lion, and the fourth was the face of an eagle.

¹⁵And the cherubim rose; that is, the living creatures^d that I saw at the Kebar River.^e ¹⁶And when the cherubim went,^f the wheels beside them went; and when the cherubim lifted their wings to rise up from the earth,^g the wheels also did not turn aside from beside them. ¹⁷When they stood,^h they stood, and at their rising, they rose with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in them. ¹⁸And the glory of Yahweh went out fromⁱ the threshold of the temple, and it stood above the cherubim. ¹⁹And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and they rose from the earth before my eyes. At their going out, the wheels were^j beside them. And he stood at the doorway of the eastern gate of the temple^k of Yahweh, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.^l

²⁰This was^m the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel at the Kebar River,ⁿ and I knew that they were cherubim. ²¹Each one had four faces,^o and there were four wings for each, and the likeness of human hands^p was under their wings.
