Ezekiel 10:8-22

⁸ The cherubim appeared to have the form of a man's hand under their wings . ⁹ Then I looked , and behold , four wheels beside the cherubim , one wheel beside each cherub ; and the appearance of the wheels was like the gleam of a Tarshish stone . ¹⁰ As for their appearance , all four of them had the same likeness , as if one wheel were within another wheel . ¹¹ When they moved , they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went ; but they followed e in the direction which they faced e , without turning as they went . ¹² Their whole body , their backs , their hands , their wings and the wheels were full of eyes all around , the wheels belonging to all four of them. ¹³ The wheels were called in my hearing , the whirling wheels . ¹⁴ And each 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 . ¹⁵ Then the cherubim rose up. They are the living beings that I saw by the river Chebar . ¹⁶ Now 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. ¹⁷ When the cherubim stood 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. ¹⁸ Then the glory of the Lord departed from the threshold of the temple and stood over the cherubim . ¹⁹ When the cherubim departed , they lifted their wings and rose up from the earth in my sight with the wheels beside them; and they stood still at the entrance of the east gate of the Lord'S house , and the glory of the God of Israel hovered e over them. ²⁰ These are the living beings that I saw beneath the God of Israel by the river Chebar ; so I knew that they were cherubim . ²¹ Each one had four faces and each one four wings , and beneath their wings was the form of human hands . ²² As for the likeness of their faces , they were the same faces whose appearance I had seen by the river Chebar . Each one went straight e e ahead .
