or, "the spirit of life", as in ( Ezekiel 1:20 ) ; see ( Revelation 11:11 ) .

Ezekiel 1:21 In-Context

19 When the living creatures went, the wheels went; when the living creatures lifted off, the wheels lifted off.

20 Wherever the spirit went, they went, the wheels sticking right with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

21 When the creatures went, the wheels went; when the creatures stopped, the wheels stopped; when the creatures lifted off, the wheels lifted off, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

22 Over the heads of the living creatures was something like a dome, shimmering like a sky full of cut glass, vaulted over their heads.

23 Under the dome one set of wings was extended toward the others, with another set of wings covering their bodies.
