Ezekiel 1:7-16 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

7. And their legs were straight legs, and the sole of their feet was like the sole of the foot of a calf, and they were sparkling like the outward appearance of polished bronze.

8. And under their wings were human hands on their four sides. And their faces and their wings for the four of them were as follows:

9. their wings were touching one another; each of them went straight forward, without turning right or left.

10. The likeness of their faces was the face of a human in front, and the face of a lion on the right of each of them, and the face of an ox on the left of each of them, and the face of an eagle for each of them.

11. So were their faces; their wings were spread out upward; each had two touching one another and two covering their bodies.

12. And each went straight forward; wherever the spirit went they went, and they did not turn as they went.

13. As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches. It was moving to and fro between the living creatures, and the fire was very bright and lightning was going out from the fire.

14. And the living creatures were speeding to and fro like the appearance of lightning.

15. And I saw the living creatures, and look! A wheel was on the earth beside each of the living creatures that had four faces.

16. The appearance of the wheels and their construction was like the appearance of beryl, and they all looked alike, and their appearance and their construction was like a wheel within a wheel.
