Yechezkel 1:10-17 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

10. As for the demut of their panim, they four had the face of an adam, and the face of an aryeh, on the right side; and they four had the face of a shor on the left side; they four also had the face of a nesher.

11. Thus were their panim; and their kenafayim were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their geviyot.

12. And they went every one face forward; whither the Ruach was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.

13. As for the demut of the Chayos, their appearance was like coals of eish burning, and like the appearance of lapidim (torches); it spread back and forth among the Chayos; and the eish was brilliant, and out of the eish went forth barak (lightning).

14. And the Chayos ran and returned as the appearance of bazak (a flash of lightning).

15. Now as I beheld the Chayos, hinei there was one Ofan ba'aretz etzel the Chayos, with its four panim.

16. The appearance of the Ofanim and their making was like unto the color of tarshish; and they four had one demut; and their appearance and their making was as it were an Ofan within an Ofan.

17. Arba'at (four) sidedly they went; and they turned not as they went.
