New American Standard Bible 1995

Ezekiel 1:6-12

6Each of them had 1four faces and 2four wings.

7Their legs were straight and 3their feet were like a calf’s hoof, and they gleamed like 4burnished bronze.

8Under their wings on their 5four sides were human 6hands. As for the faces and wings of the four of them,

9their wings touched one another; their faces did 7not turn when they moved, each 8went straight forward.

10As for the 9form of their faces, each had the 10face of a man; 11all four had the face of a lion on the right and the face of a bull on the left, and 12all four had the face of an eagle.

11Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above; each had two touching another being, and 13two covering their bodies.

12And 14each went straight forward; 15wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go, without turning as they went.
