Description of the Cherubim and Wheels
Ezekiel 10:8-17
8
Now there appeared among the k'ruvim the form of a man's hand under their wings.
9
I looked and saw four wheels next to the k'ruvim, one wheel next to one keruv and another wheel next to another keruv: the wheels had the color of beryl.
10
Their shape was the same for all four, like a wheel inside a wheel.
11
When they moved, they could go in any of the four directions without turning as they moved; rather, wherever the head looked, they followed without turning as they moved.
12
Their whole bodies, including their backs, hands and wings, and also the wheels, were full of eyes all around - even the wheels of the four k'ruvim.
13
As for the wheels, I heard them called "the wheel apparatus."
14
Every one [of the k'ruvim] had four faces: the first face was the face of a keruv, 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
Then the k'ruvim rose. These were the living creatures I had seen by the K'var River.
16
When the k'ruvim moved, the wheels went with them; and when the k'ruvim lifted their wings to rise off the ground, these wheels did not stop going with them.
17
When [the k'ruvim] stood still, [the wheels] stood still; and when the former rose, the latter rose with them; because the spirit of the living creatures was in them.
