8. Something that looked like a human hand could be seen under the wings of the living creatures.
9. I saw the four wheels by the living creatures, one wheel by each living creature. The wheels looked like shining chrysolite.
10. All four wheels looked alike: Each looked like a wheel crossways inside another wheel.
11. When the wheels moved, they went in any of the directions that the four living creatures faced. The wheels did not turn about, and the living creatures did not turn their bodies as they went.
12. All their bodies, their backs, their hands, their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes all over. Each of the four living creatures had a wheel.
13. I heard the wheels being called “whirling wheels.”
14. Each living creature had four faces. The first face was the face of a creature with wings. The second face was a human face, the third was the face of a lion, and the fourth was the face of an eagle.
15. Then the living creatures flew up. They were the same living creatures I had seen by the Kebar River.
16. When the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them. When the living creatures lifted their wings to fly up from the ground, the wheels did not leave their place beside them.
17. When the living creatures stopped, the wheels stopped. When the creatures went up, the wheels went up also, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
18. Then the glory of the Lord left the door of the Temple and stood over the living creatures.
19. As I watched, the living creatures spread their wings and flew up from the ground, with the wheels beside them. They stood where the east gate of the Temple of the Lord opened, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
