The Storm and the Living Creatures

4

And I looked, and, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with a fire infolding itself, and a brightness round about it, and out of the midst thereof as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the fire.

5

And out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man;

6

and every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.

7

And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot; and they sparkled like burnished brass.

8

And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings thus:

9

their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.

10

As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man; and they four had the face of a lion on the right side; and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four had also the face of an eagle.

11

And their faces and their wings were separate above; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.

12

And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; they turned not when they went.

13

As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches: the fire went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.

14

And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
