Ezekiel 1:9-11

9 The four creatures were standing back to back with the tips of their wings touching. They moved together in every direction, without turning their bodies.
10 (A) Each creature had the face of a human in front, the face of a lion on the right side, the face of a bull on the left, and the face of an eagle in back. 11 Two wings[a] of each creature were spread out and touched the wings of the creatures on either side. The other two wings of each creature were folded against its body.

9 and the wings of one touched the wings of another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved.(A)
10 Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a human being, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle.(B) 11 Such were their faces. They each had two wings(C) spreading out upward, each wing touching that of the creature on either side; and each had two other wings covering its body.
