Ezekiel 10:17-22 Common English Bible (CEB)

17. When they stood still, the wheels stood still; when they rose up, they rose up with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in them.

18. Then the Lord’s glory went out from above the temple’s threshold and it stood over the winged creatures.

19. While I watched, the winged creatures raised their wings and rose from the ground to leave, with their wheels beside them. They stopped at the entrance to the east gate of the temple, and the glory of Israel’s God was up above them.

20. These were the same living creatures that I saw underneath Israel’s God at the Chebar River, and I realized that they were winged creatures.

21. Each had four faces and four wings, with the form of a human hand under their wings.

22. The forms of their faces were the same faces that I saw at the Chebar River. Their appearance was also the same. All four of them moved straight ahead.
