And the likeness of their faces was human faces; and lion faces, on the right side; and they four had ox faces on the left side; likewise they four had eagle faces.
11
Thus
were their faces; and their wings
were stretched upward; two
wings of each one
were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
12
And they went each one straight forward in the direction they were facing: wherever the Spirit directed them to go, they went;
and they did not return when they went.
13
As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance
was like burning coals of fire
and like the appearance of
lit torches; the
fire went up and down among the living creatures and the brightness of the fire; and out of the fire went forth lightning.
14
And the living creatures ran and turned as the appearance of lightnings.
15
Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold a wheel upon the earth with its four rims by the living creatures.
16
The appearance of the wheels and their work
was like unto the colour of a
stone of Tarsis
or beryl; and they four had one likeness; and their appearance and their workmanship
was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
17
When they went, they went upon their four sides:
and they did not return when they went.
18
And their ribs were high and dreadful, and full of eyes round about them in all four.
19
And when the living creatures went, the wheels went with them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
20
Wherever the spirit wished to go, they went; wherever the spirit directed them, the wheels also rose up after them: for the spirit of the living creatures
was in the wheels.
