Ezekiel 1:6-12

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

7Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf's foot. And they sparkled like burnished bronze.

8Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. And the four had their faces and their wings thus:

9their wings touched one another. Each one of them went straight forward, without turning as they went.

10As for the likeness of their faces, each had a human face. The four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle.

11Such were their faces. And their wings were spread out above. Each creature had two wings, each of which touched the wing of another, while two covered their bodies.

12And each went straight forward. Wherever the spirit would go, they went, without turning as they went.
