Ezekiel 10:9–17

⁹I looked, and there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one beside each cherub, and the appearance of the wheels was like gleaming beryl.^{* 10}And as for their appearance, the four looked alike, something like a wheel within a wheel. ¹¹When they moved, they moved in any of the four directions without veering as they moved, but in whatever direction the front wheel faced, the others followed without veering as they moved. ¹²Their entire bodies—backs, hands, and wings—were covered with eyes all around, as were the wheels of the four of them.^{* 13}As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing “the wheelwork.” ¹⁴Each one had four faces: the first face was that of the cherub, the second face was that of a human, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.^*

¹⁵The cherubim rose up. These were the living creatures that I saw by the River Chebar. ¹⁶When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them, and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to rise up from the earth, the wheels at their side did not veer.^{* 17}When they stopped, the others stopped, and when they rose up, the others rose up with them, for a living spirit was in them.^*
