Ezekiel 1:21-23
International Standard Version
21 They moved around whenever they wanted to move around,[a] and they stood still whenever they wanted to stand still;[b] and whenever they rose from the earth, the wheels remained close beside them, because the wheels were also alive.[c]
The Vision of the Wings
22 There was spread out over the heads of the living beings what looked like a canopy,[d] in outward appearance resembling ice, 23 and underneath the canopy, their wings spread out straight over their heads toward each other. They each also had two wings with which they covered themselves, one wing covering its body on one side and one wing covering itself on the other side.

Ezekiel 1:21-23
New International Version
21 When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.(A)
22 Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was what looked something like a vault,(B) sparkling like crystal, and awesome. 23 Under the vault their wings were stretched out one toward the other, and each had two wings covering its body.
