Ezekiel 1:4-14
Read Ezekiel 1 in full →4Then I looked, and behold, a astorm wind was coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing forth continually and a bright light all around it, and in its midst something like the gleam of bglowing metal in the midst of the fire. 5And within it there were figures with the likeness of afour living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the blikeness of a man. 6And each of them had afour faces and bfour wings. 7And their legs were straight, and 1their feet were like a calf’s hoof, and they sparkled like the gleam of aburnished bronze. 8And under their wings on their afour sides were bhands of a man. As for the faces and wings of the four of them, 9their wings touched one another; their faces did anot turn as they went; each bwent straight forward. 10And as for the alikeness of their faces, each had the bface of a man; 1all four had the face of a lion on the right and the face of a bull on the left, and 2all four had the face of an eagle. 11And such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above; each had two touching another being, and atwo covering their bodies. 12And aeach went straight forward; bwherever the spirit was about to go, they would go, without turning as they went. 131As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of afire, 2like the appearance of torches going back and forth among the living creatures. The fire was bright, and lightning was 3flashing from the fire. 14And the living creatures aran to and fro with the appearance of blightning.
