Ezekiel 10:8-22

8The cherubim appeared to have athe form of a human hand under their wings.

9 bAnd I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one beside each cherub, and cthe appearance of the wheels was dlike sparkling eberyl. 10And as for their appearance, the four had the same likeness, as if a wheel were within a wheel. 11 fWhen they went, they went in any of their four directions
Hebrew to their four sides
hwithout turning as they went, ibut in whatever direction the front wheel
Hebrew  the head
faced, the others followed without turning as they went.
12 kAnd their whole body, their rims, and their spokes, their wings,
Or  their whole body, their backs, their hands, and their wings
and the wheels were full of eyes all around—the wheels that the four of them had.
13As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing m“the whirling wheels.” 14 nAnd every one had four faces: othe first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was pa human face, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

15 qAnd the cherubim mounted up. These were rthe living creatures that I saw by sthe Chebar canal. 16 tAnd when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them. And uwhen the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels did not turn from beside them. 17 vWhen they stood still, these stood still, and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them, for the spirit of the living creatures
Or  spirit of life
was in them.

18 xThen ythe glory of the Lord went out from the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim. 19 zAnd the cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth aabefore my eyes as they went out, with the wheels beside them. And they stood at the entrance of the abeast gate of the house of the Lord, and acthe glory of the God of Israel was over them.

20 adThese were the living creatures that I saw aeunderneath the God of Israel by afthe Chebar canal; and I knew that they were cherubim. 21 agEach had four faces, and each four wings, and underneath their wings ahthe likeness of human hands. 22 aiAnd as for the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces whose appearance I had seen by the Chebar canal. ajEach one of them went straight forward.
