Ezekiel 10:12-22 Common English Bible (CEB)

12. Their whole body—backs, hands, and wings—as well as their wheels, all four of them, were covered with eyes all around.

13. It was these wheels that were called "the wheels" in my hearing.

14. Each winged creature had four faces. The first face was that of a winged creature, the second face was that of a human being, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.

15. The winged creatures rose up, the same creatures that I had seen at the Chebar River.

16. When the winged creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them. When the winged creatures lifted their wings to ascend above the earth, the wheels remained beside them without swerving.

17. When they stood still, the wheels stood still; when they rose up, they rose up with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in them.

18. Then the Lord’s glory went out from above the temple’s threshold and it stood over the winged creatures.

19. While I watched, the winged creatures raised their wings and rose from the ground to leave, with their wheels beside them. They stopped at the entrance to the east gate of the temple, and the glory of Israel’s God was up above them.

20. These were the same living creatures that I saw underneath Israel’s God at the Chebar River, and I realized that they were winged creatures.

21. Each had four faces and four wings, with the form of a human hand under their wings.

22. The forms of their faces were the same faces that I saw at the Chebar River. Their appearance was also the same. All four of them moved straight ahead.
