Ezekiel 10:9–17

⁹Then I looked, and behold, ^afour wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like the gleam of a ^1bTarshish stone.

¹⁰As for their appearance, all four of them had the same likeness, as if one wheel were within another wheel.

¹¹When they moved, they went ^ain any of their four ¹directions without turning as they went; but they followed in the direction which ²they faced, without turning as they went.

¹²Their ^awhole body, their backs, their hands, their wings and the ^bwheels were full of eyes all around, the wheels belonging to all four of them.

¹³The wheels were called in my hearing, the whirling wheels.

¹⁴And ^aeach one had four faces. The first face was the face of a cherub, the second face was the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

¹⁵Then the cherubim rose up. They are the ^aliving beings that I saw by the river Chebar.

¹⁶Now when the cherubim moved, the wheels would go beside them; also when the cherubim lifted up their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels would not turn from beside them.

¹⁷When ¹the cherubim ^astood still, the wheels would stand still; and when they rose up, the wheels would rise with them, for the spirit of the living beings was in them.
