Ezekiel 1:5-12

5And within it there were figures resembling 1four living beings. And this was their appearance: they had human 2form.

6Each of them had 3four faces and 4four wings.

7Their legs were straight and 5their feet were like a calf’s 6hoof, and they sparkled like 7polished bronze.

8Under their wings on their 8four sides were human 9hands. As for the faces and wings of the four of them,

9their wings touched one another; their faces did 10not turn when they moved, each 11went straight forward.

10As for the 12form of their faces, each had a human 13face; 14all four had the face of a lion on the right and the face of a bull on the left, and 15all four had the face of an eagle.

11Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above; each had two touching another being, and 16two covering their bodies.

12And 17each went straight forward; 18wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go, without turning as they went.
