I looked, and I saw beside the cherubim four wheels, one beside each of the cherubim; the wheels sparkled like topaz.(A) 10 As for their appearance, the four of them looked alike; each was like a wheel intersecting a wheel. 11 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the cherubim faced; the wheels did not turn about[a] as the cherubim went. The cherubim went in whatever direction the head faced, without turning as they went. 12 Their entire bodies, including their backs, their hands and their wings, were completely full of eyes,(B) as were their four wheels.(C) 13 I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels.” 14 Each of the cherubim(D) had four faces:(E) One face was that of a cherub, the second the face of a human being, the third the face of a lion,(F) and the fourth the face of an eagle.(G)

15 Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures(H) I had seen by the Kebar River.(I) 16 When the cherubim moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the cherubim spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not leave their side.
