The Glory of the Lord
4As I looked, behold, aa stormy wind came bout of the north, and a great cloud, with cbrightness around it, and fire flashing forth continually, and in the midst of the fire, das it were gleaming metal. ▼▼Or amber; also verse 27
5And from the midst of it came the likeness of ffour living creatures. gAnd this was their appearance: they had a human likeness, 6 hbut each had four faces, and each of them had four wings. 7Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf’s foot. And they sparkled ilike burnished bronze. 8Under their wings jon their four sides kthey had human hands. And the four had their faces and their wings thus: 9their wings touched one another. lEach one of them went straight forward, mwithout turning as they went. 10As for the likeness of their faces, neach had a human face. The four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle. 11Such were their faces. And their wings were spread out above. Each creature had two wings, each of which touched the wing of another, while otwo covered their bodies. 12 pAnd each went straight forward. qWherever the spirit ▼▼Or Spirit; also twice in verse 20 and once in verse 21
would go, they went, without turning as they went. 13As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was slike burning coals of fire, tlike the appearance of torches moving to and fro among the living creatures. uAnd the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. 14And the living creatures vdarted to and fro, wlike the appearance of a flash of lightning.
