Ezekiel 10:13-22 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

13. And in my hearing, he called these wheels: "constantly changing."

14. Now each one had four faces. One face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and in the third was the face of a lion, and in the fourth was the face of an eagle.

15. And the cherubim were lifted up. This is the living creature, which I had seen beside the river Chebar.

16. And when the cherubim advanced, the wheels also went beside them. And when the cherubim lifted up their wings in order to be raised up from the earth, the wheels did not remain behind, but they also were beside them.

17. When they were standing, these stood still. And when they were lifted up, these were lifted up. For the spirit of life was in them.

18. And the glory of the Lord went forth from the threshold of the temple, and stood above the cherubim.

19. And the cherubim, lifting up their wings, were raised up from the earth in my sight. And as they went away, the wheels also followed. And it stood at the entrance to the east gate of the house of the Lord. And the glory of the God of Israel was over them.

20. This is the living creature, which I saw under the God of Israel beside the river Chebar. And I understood that they were cherubim.

21. Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings. And the likeness of the hand of a man was under their wings.

22. And, concerning the appearance of their faces, these were the same faces that I had seen beside the river Chebar, and the gaze and force of each one of them was to go before his face.
