Ezekiel 1:5-14

5Also from within it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.

6Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings.

7Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the soles of calves’ feet. They sparkled like the color of burnished bronze.

8The hands of a man were under their wings on their four sides; and each of the four had faces and wings.

9Their wings touched one another. The creatures did not turn when they went, but each one went straight forward.

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

11Thus were their faces. Their wings stretched upward; two wings of each one touched one another, and two covered their bodies.

12And each one went straight forward; they went wherever the spirit wanted to go, and they did not turn when they went.

13As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches going back and forth among the living creatures. The fire was bright, and out of the fire went lightning.

14And the living creatures ran back and forth, in appearance like a flash of lightning.
