Praise to the Lord for His Holiness

^20 (A)This is the living creature I saw under the God of Israel ^(B)by the River Chebar, and I knew they were cherubim. ^21 (C)Each one had four faces and each one four wings, and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings. ²² And ^(D)the likeness of their faces was the same as the faces which I had seen by the River Chebar, their appearance and their persons. ^(E)They each went straight forward.

^5 (A)Also from within it came the likeness of four living creatures. And ^(B)this was their appearance: they had ^(C)the likeness of a man. ⁶ Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings. ⁷ Their ^[a]legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the soles of calves’ feet. They sparkled ^(D)like the color of burnished bronze. ^8 (E)The hands of a man were under their wings on their four sides; and each of the four had faces and wings. ⁹ Their wings touched one another. The creatures did not turn when they went, but each one went straight ^(F)forward.

¹⁰ As for ^(G)the likeness of their faces, each ^(H)had the face of a man; each of the four had ^(I)the face of a lion on the right side, ^(J)each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, ^(K)and each of the four had the face of an eagle. ¹¹ Thus were their faces. Their wings stretched upward; two wings of each one touched one another, and ^(L)two covered their bodies. ¹² And ^(M)each one went straight forward; they went wherever the spirit wanted to go, and they did not turn when they went.

¹³ As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, ^(N)like the appearance of torches going back and forth among the living creatures. The fire was bright, and out of the fire went lightning. ¹⁴ And the living creatures ran back and forth, ^(O)in appearance like a flash of lightning.
