Context of Ezekiel 10:15
13I heard someone call the wheels, ‘wheels that turn very fast’. 14Each of the cherubs had four faces. One face was the face of a bull. The second face was the face of a man. The third face was a lion's face. And the fourth face was an eagle's face. The cherubs rose up into the air. They were the same as the living things that I had seen beside the River Kebar. 16When they moved, the wheels that were beside them also moved. When the cherubs lifted up their wings to fly into the air, the wheels moved beside them. 17When the cherubs stood still, the wheels also stood still. And when the cherubs rose in the air, the wheels also rose with them. This was because the spirit of the living things was in the wheels.
