Ezekiel 10:4-14

4 Then the 1glory of the LORD went up from the cherub to the threshold of the temple, and the 2temple was filled with the cloud and the court was filled with the 3brightness of the glory of the LORD.
5 Moreover, the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like the 4voice of God Almighty when He speaks.
6 It came about when He commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, "Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim," he entered and stood beside a wheel.
7 Then the cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire which was between the cherubim, took some and put it into the hands of the one clothed in linen, who took it and went out.
8 The cherubim appeared to have the form of a man's hand under their wings.
9 Then I looked, and behold, 5four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like the gleam of a 6Tarshish 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 7in any of their four directions without turning as they went; but they followed * in the direction which they faced *, without turning as they went.
12 Their 8whole body, their backs, their hands, their wings and the 9wheels 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 10each 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.
