11. That is what their faces looked like. Their wings were spread out, pointing upward. Each creature had two wings with which they touched each other. The other two wings covered their bodies.
12. Each of the creatures went straight ahead. They went wherever their spirit wanted to go, and they didn’t turn as they moved.
13. The living creatures looked like burning coals and torches. Fire moved back and forth between the living creatures. The fire was bright, and lightning came out of the fire.
14. The living creatures ran back and forth like lightning.
15. As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each of them.
16. This is how the wheels looked and how they were made: They looked like beryl. All four wheels looked the same. They looked like a wheel within a wheel.
17. Whenever they moved, they moved in any of the four directions without turning as they moved.
18. The rims of the wheels were large and frightening. They were covered with eyes.
19. When the living creatures moved, the wheels moved with them. When the living creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose.
20. Wherever their spirit wanted to go, the creatures went. The wheels rose with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
21. So whenever the creatures moved, the wheels moved. Whenever the creatures stood still, the wheels stood still. And whenever the creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
22. Something like a dome was spread over the heads of the living creatures. It looked like dazzling crystal.
23. Under the dome, each creature had two wings that were stretched out straight, touching one another. Each creature had two wings that covered its body.
