8. (The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.)
9. As I watched, I noticed four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub; the wheels gleamed like jasper.
10. As for their appearance, all four of them looked the same, something like a wheel within a wheel.
11. When they moved, they would go in any of the four directions they faced without turning as they moved; in the direction the head would turn they would follow without turning as they moved,
12. along with their entire bodies, their backs, their hands, and their wings. The wheels of the four of them were full of eyes all around.
13. As for their wheels, they were called “the wheelwork” as I listened.
14. Each of the cherubim had four faces: The first was the face of a cherub, the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.
15. The cherubim rose up; these were the living beings I saw at the Kebar River.
16. When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them; when the cherubim spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not move from their side.
17. When the cherubim stood still, the wheels stood still, and when they rose up, the wheels rose up with them, for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.
