9. their wings touched one another; their faces did not turn when they moved, each went straight forward.
10. As for the form of their faces, each had the face of a man; all four had the face of a lion on the right and the face of a bull on the left, and all four had the face of an eagle.
11. Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above; each had two touching another being, and two covering their bodies.
12. And each went straight forward; wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go, without turning as they went.
13. In the midst of the living beings there was something that looked like burning coals of fire, like torches darting back and forth among the living beings. The fire was bright, and lightning was flashing from the fire.
14. And the living beings ran to and fro like bolts of lightning.
15. Now as I looked at the living beings, behold, there was one wheel on the earth beside the living beings, for each of the four of them.
16. The appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was like sparkling beryl, and all four of them had the same form, their appearance and workmanship being as if one wheel were within another.
17. Whenever they moved, they moved in any of their four directions without turning as they moved.
18. As for their rims they were lofty and awesome, and the rims of all four of them were full of eyes round about.
19. Whenever the living beings moved, the wheels moved with them. And whenever the living beings rose from the earth, the wheels rose also.
20. Wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go in that direction. And the wheels rose close beside them; for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.
21. Whenever those went, these went; and whenever those stood still, these stood still. And whenever those rose from the earth, the wheels rose close beside them; for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.
22. Now over the heads of the living beings there was something like an expanse, like the awesome gleam of crystal, spread out over their heads.
23. Under the expanse their wings were stretched out straight, one toward the other; each one also had two wings covering its body on the one side and on the other.
