Ezekiel 1:5

5 And in its midst, there was the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: the likeness of a man was in them. ^{▼▼1:5 Living creatures: Cherubims (as appears from Ecclesiasticus 49.10) represented to the prophet under these mysterious shapes, as supporting the throne of God, and as it were drawing his chariot. All this chapter appeared so obscure, and so full of mysteries to the ancient Hebrews, that, as we learn from St. Jerome, (Ep. ad Paulin.,) they suffered none to read it before they were thirty years old.(Challoner)}
