Ezekiel 1:17

When they went, they went upon their four sides: [and] they turned not when they went.

When they went {H3212}, they went {H3212} upon their four {H702} sides {H7253}: and they turned {H5437} not when they went {H3212}.

When they moved, they could go in any of the four directions without turning as they moved.

As they moved, they went in any of the four directions, without pivoting as they moved.

When they went, they went in their four directions: they turned not when they went.
