  2. Beneath their wings they had human hands on their four sides. The four of them had faces and wings as follows:

  3. they touched one another with their wings; they did not turn when they moved, but each one moved straight forward;

  5. thus their faces. As for their wings, each had two that stretched upward and joined those of others, and two more that covered their bodies.

  18. I heard the sound of their wings when they moved; it was like the sound of rushing water, like the voice of Shaddai, like the noise of a tumultuous crowd or army. When they stopped, they lowered their wings.

  19. Whenever there was a sound from above the dome over their heads, they stopped and lowered their wings.
