8. They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides. As for the faces and wings of the four of them,
9. their wings were joined to one another. Their faces did not turn when they went. Each went straight forward.
10. As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man, and all four had the face of a lion on the right side, and the face of an ox on the left side, and the face of an eagle.
11. Thus were their faces. And their wings were stretched upward. Two wings of every one were joined to one another, and two covered their bodies.
12. Each went straight forward. Wherever the spirit was to go, they would go and not turn as they went.
13. As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire and like the appearance of lamps. It went up and down among the living creatures. And the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
14. The living creatures ran to and fro as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
15. Now as I looked at the living creatures, one wheel was on the ground by the living creatures for each of the four faces.
16. The appearance of the wheels and their work was like the color of sparkling beryl. And all four of them had one likeness. And their appearance and their work was, as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
17. Whenever they went, they went in any of their four sides and did not turn as they went.
18. As for their rims, they were so high that they were dreadful. And the rims of all four of them were full of eyes all around.
19. Whenever the living creatures went, the wheels went with them. And whenever the living creatures were lifted up from the ground, the wheels also were lifted up.
20. Wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go in that direction. And the wheels rose close beside them. For the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
21. Whenever those went, these went. And whenever those stood still, these stood still. And whenever those rose from the ground, the wheels rose close beside them. For the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
22. The likeness of the expanse over the heads of the living creatures was as the awesome gleam of crystal, stretched out over their heads above.
