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 4hoof, and they sparkled like 5polished bronze.

8Under their wings on their 6four sides were human 7hands. As for the faces and wings of the four of them,

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

10As for the 10form of their faces, each had a human 11face; 12all four had the face of a lion on the right and the face of a bull on the left, and 13all four had the face of an eagle.

11Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above; each had two touching another being, and 14two covering their bodies.

12And 15each went straight forward; 16wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go, without turning as they went.
