Ezekiel 1:5-14 ▼

5 And in the midst of it was the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: The likeness of a man was unto them,

6 with four faces for each one, and four wings for each one unto them.

7 And their feet were straight feet, and the soles of their feet were like the soles of the foot of a calf, and they sparkled like an eye of polished bronze.

8 And the hands of a man were under their wings on four of their sides. And the faces and wings were unto the four of them,

9 joining each one to her sister; their wings did not turn in their going, each man went to straight ahead.

10 And the likeness of their faces, was the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right side was unto the four of them; and the face of an ox on the left side was unto the four of them, and the face of an eagle was unto the four of them.

11 And such were their faces. And their wings were spread out above each one; unto each one were two touching one, and two were covering their bodies.

12 And each one went toward straight ahead of its face; to the direction that there the spirit was to go, they would go, and they did not turn in their going.

13 And the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like coals of fire burning, like the appearance of torches; it was going about among the living creatures, and brightness was unto the fire, and from the fire was going forth lightning.

14 And the living creatures were running and returning like the appearance of the lightning.
