7. And their legs were straight legs, and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot, and they sparkled like burnished bronze.
8. And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides. And the four of them had their faces and their wings thus:
9. Their wings touched one another; they turned not when they went but went every one straight forward.
10. As for the likeness of their faces, they each had the face of a man [in front], and each had the face of a lion on the right side and the face of an ox on the left side; the four also had the face of an eagle [at the back of their heads]. [Rev. 4:7.]
11. Such were their faces. And their wings were stretched out upward [each creature had four wings]; two wings of each one were touching the [adjacent] wing of the creatures on either side of it, and [the remaining] two wings of each creature covered its body.
12. And they went every one straight forward; wherever the spirit would go, they went, and they turned not when they went.
13. In the midst of the living creatures there was what looked like burning coals of fire, like torches moving to and fro among the living creatures; the fire was bright and out of the fire went forth lightning.
14. And the living creatures darted back and forth like a flash of lightning.
15. Now as I was still looking at the living creatures, I saw one wheel upon the ground beside each of the living creatures with its four faces.
16. As to the appearance of the wheels and their construction: in appearance they gleamed like chrysolite; and the four were formed alike, and their construction work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.
17. When they went, they went in one of their four directions without turning [for they were faced that way].
