Ezekiel 1:5–12

^5gAlso from within it came the likeness of four living creatures. And ^hthis was their appearance: they had ⁱthe likeness of a man. ⁶Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings. ⁷Their ³legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the soles of calves’ feet. They sparkled ^jlike the color of burnished bronze. ^8kThe hands of a man were under their wings on their four sides; and each of the four had faces and wings. ⁹Their wings touched one another. The creatures did not turn when they went, but each one went straight ^lforward.

¹⁰As for ^mthe likeness of their faces, each ⁿhad the face of a man; each of the four had ^othe face of a lion on the right side, ^peach of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, ^qand each of the four had the face of an eagle. ¹¹Thus were their faces. Their wings stretched upward; two wings of each one touched one another, and ^rtwo covered their bodies. ¹²And ^seach one went straight forward; they went wherever the spirit wanted to go, and they did not turn when they went.
