The Storm and the Living Creatures

4

And I look, and lo, a tempestuous wind is coming from the north, a great cloud, and fire catching itself, and brightness to it round about, and out of its midst as the colour of copper, out of the midst of the fire.

5

And out of its midst is a likeness of four living creatures, and this is their appearance; a likeness of man is to them,

6

and four faces are to each, and four wings are to each of them,

7

and their feet are straight feet, and the sole of their feet is as a sole of a calf's foot, and they are sparkling as the colour of bright brass;

8

and hands of man under their wings--on their four sides, and their faces and their wings-- are to them four;

9

joining one unto another are their wings, they turn not round in their going, each straight forward they go.

10

As to the likeness of their faces, the face of a man, and the face of a lion, toward the right are to them four, and the face of an ox on the left are to them four, and the face of an eagle are to them four.

11

And their faces and their wings are separate from above, to each are two joining together, and two are covering their bodies.

12

And each straight forward they go, whither the spirit is to go, they go, they turn not round in their going.

13

As to the likeness of the living creatures, their appearances are as coals of fire--burning as the appearance of lamps; it is going up and down between the living creatures, and brightness is to the fire, and out of the fire is going forth lightning.

14

And the living creatures are running, and turning back, as the appearance of the flash.
