9. their wings touched each other’s wings. When they moved, they each went straight ahead without turning.
10. As for the form of their faces: each of the four had a human face, with a lion’s face on the right and a bull’s face on the left, and also an eagle’s face.
11. The pairs of wings that stretched out overhead touched each other, while the other pairs covered their bodies.
12. Each moved straight ahead wherever the wind propelled them; they moved without turning.
13. Regarding the creatures’ forms: they looked like blazing coals, like torches. Fire darted about between the creatures and illuminated them, and lightning flashed from the fire.
14. The creatures looked like lightning streaking back and forth.
15. As I looked at the creatures, suddenly there was a wheel on the earth corresponding to all four faces of the creatures.
16. The appearance and composition of the wheels were like sparkling topaz. There was one shape for all four of them, as if one wheel were inside another.
17. When they moved in any of the four directions, they moved without swerving.
18. Their rims were tall and terrifying, because all four of them were filled with eyes all around.
19. When the creatures moved, the wheels moved next to them. Whenever the creatures rose above the earth, the wheels also rose up.
20. Wherever the wind would appear to go, the wind would make them go there too. The wheels rose up beside them, because the spirit of the creatures was in the wheels.
21. When they moved, the wheels moved; when they stood still, the wheels stood still; and when they rose above the earth, the wheels rose up along with them, because the spirit of the creatures was in the wheels.
22. The shape above the heads of the creatures was a dome; it was like glittering ice stretched out over their heads.
23. Just below the dome, their outstretched wings touched each other. They each also had two wings to cover their bodies.
