9. Then I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cheruvim, one wheel beside one cheruv, and another wheel beside another cheruv. The appearance of the wheels was like the sparkling of a beryl stone.
10. As for their appearance, the four had one form—like a wheel within a wheel.
11. When they went, they would go in any of their four directions, without pivoting as they went. So to whatever place the head faced, they followed, without turning as they went.
12. Their whole body, their backs, their hands, their wings, and their wheels, the wheels of the four of them, were full of eyes all around.
13. As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing “the whirling wheels.”
14. Each one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cheruv, the second face was the face of a man, the third the face of a lion and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15. The cheruvim arose—these were the living creatures that I saw by the river Chebar.
16. As the cheruvim went, the wheels would go beside them. When the cheruvim lifted up their wings to rise from the earth, the wheels would not turn from beside them.
17. When they stood still, these stood still. When they rose up, these rose up with them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in them.
18. Then the glory of Adonai went forth from above the threshold of the House and stood above the cheruvim.
19. The cheruvim lifted up their wings and arose from the earth in my sight. When they went out, the wheels went with them. They stood still at the door of the east gate of Adonai’s House. The glory of the God of Israel was over them from above.
20. They were the living creatures that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar. I knew that they were cheruvim.
21. Each of them had four faces and each one four wings. The appearance of human hands was under their wings.
