5 In the middle of it was something like four living creatures. This was their appearance: they were of human form.(A) 6 Each had four faces, and each of them had four wings.(B) 7 Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf’s foot, and they sparkled like burnished bronze.(C) 8 Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. And the four had their faces and their wings thus:(D) 9 their wings touched one another; each of them moved straight ahead, without turning as they moved. 10 As for the appearance of their faces: the four had the face of a human being, the face of a lion on the right side, the face of an ox on the left side, and the face of an eagle;(E) 11 such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above; each creature had two wings, each of which touched the wing of another, while two covered their bodies.(F) 12 Each moved straight ahead; wherever the spirit would go, they went, without turning as they went. 13 In the middle of[a] the living creatures there was something that looked like burning coals of fire, like torches moving to and fro among the living creatures; the fire was bright, and lightning issued from the fire.(G) 14 The living creatures darted to and fro, like a flash of lightning.(H)
