Ezekiel 10:8-22 - The Wheels And The Creatures

8 And there appeared in the cherubim the form of a man's hand under their wings.

9 And I looked, and, behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub. And the appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone. 10 And as for their appearance, those four had one likeness, as if a wheel have been within a wheel. 11 When they went, they went in their four directions.

And they stood at the door of the east gate of LORD's house, and the glory of the God of Israel was

20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar, and I knew that they were cherubim. 21 Each one had four faces, and each one four wings. And the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings. 22 And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves. They went each one straight forward.
