Description of the Cherubim and Wheels
Ezekiel 10:8-17
8
(The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.)
9
Then I looked and saw four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. And the wheels gleamed like a beryl stone.
10
As for their appearance, all four had the same form, like a wheel within a wheel.
11
When they moved, they would go in any of the four directions, without turning as they moved. For wherever the head faced, the cherubim would go in that direction, without turning as they moved.
12
Their entire bodies, including their backs, hands, and wings, were full of eyes all around, as were their four wheels.
13
I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels.”
14
Each of the cherubim had four faces: the first face was that of a cherub, the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.
15
Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures I had seen by the River Kebar.
16
When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them, and even when they spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not veer away from their side.
17
When the cherubim stood still, the wheels also stood still, and when they ascended, the wheels ascended with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
