Context of Ezekiel 1:19
17They moved forward in the same direction that the living things moved. They did not turn in any other direction. 18The wheels had high edges. Eyes completely covered the edges of all the wheels. When the living things moved, the wheels moved with them. If the living beings rose up from the ground, the wheels rose with them. 20The living things went wherever the spirit wanted them to go. The wheels would also go with them. That was because the spirit of the living things was in each wheel. 21When the living things moved, the wheels also moved. When the living things stopped, the wheels stopped moving too. When the living things rose up from the ground, the wheels went up at their side. That happened because the spirit of the living things was in each wheel.
