Ezekiel 1:4-12

4I looked, and there was a whirlwind coming from the north, a huge cloud with fire flashing back and forth and brilliant light all around it. In the center of the fire, there was a gleam like amber.

5The likeness of four living creatures came from it, and this was their appearance: They looked something like a human,

6but each of them had four faces and four wings.

7Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the hooves of a calf, sparkling like the gleam of polished bronze.

8They had human hands under their wings on their four sides. All four of them had faces and wings.

9Their wings were touching. The creatures did not turn as they moved; each one went straight ahead.

10Their faces looked something like the face of a human, and each of the four had the face of a lion on the right, the face of an ox on the left, and the face of an eagle.

11That is what their faces were like. Their wings were spread upward; each had two wings touching that of another and two wings covering its body.

12Each creature went straight ahead. Wherever the Spirit wanted to go, they went without turning as they moved.
