Ezekiel 1:15-21

15Now as I looked at the living beings, I saw one wheel on the ground beside the living beings, for each of the four of them.

16Regarding the appearance of the wheels and their construction: they gleamed like chrysolite (beryl, olivine); and the four were made alike. Their appearance and construction were a wheel [set at a right angle] within a wheel.

17Whenever they moved, they went in any [one] of their four directions without turning as they moved.

18Regarding their rims: they were so high that they were awesome and dreadful, and the rims of all four of them were full of eyes all around.

19Whenever the living beings moved, the wheels moved with them; and when the living beings rose from the earth, the wheels rose also.

20Wherever the spirit went, the beings went in that direction. And the wheels rose along with them; for the spirit or life of the living beings was in the wheels.

21Whenever those went, these went; and whenever those came to a stop, these came to a stop; and whenever those rose from the earth, the wheels rose close beside them, for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.
