Ezekiel 10:9–17

^9lAnd when I looked, there were four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub and another wheel by each other cherub; the wheels appeared to have the color of a ^mberyl stone. ¹⁰As for their appearance, all four looked alike—as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel. ¹¹ⁿWhen they went, they went toward any of their four directions; they did not turn aside when they went, but followed in the direction the head was facing. They did not turn aside when they went. ¹²And their whole body, with their back, their hands, their wings, and the wheels that the four had, were ^ofull of eyes all around. ¹³As for the wheels, they were called in my ⁵hearing, “Wheel.”

^14pEach one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, the second face the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. ¹⁵And the cherubim were lifted up. This was ^qthe living creature I saw by the River Chebar. ^16rWhen the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also did not turn from beside them. ^17sWhen ⁶the cherubim stood still, the wheels stood still, and when ⁷one was lifted up, ⁸the other lifted itself up, for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
